I don't know this is very good, but it's a hope for you, the offering of a friend:

Winter Phoenix

A phoenix born of waiting ashes
From frozen ground she rises
Made of love and concrete
And hopes and dreams and wishes

The soul of the phoenix sings with joy:
The bleak, black ground I'll cover
Your new life starts today
Let the cold and fear be over

I shall rise
I shall be new
I shall stretch my wings and fly
As you will too
And, as later, on this winter's night
You behold me, gleaming white
Then warmly sleep, to dream of flight
My feathers lightly brush your eyes
You laugh your way to morning
And the very earth around you sighs
For the phoenix in your hearts, a-borning
