Stubborn

The Canadian hope for a new Spring day arises fresh within.
Rises against reason.
Rises stubbornly.

I'll wear sweater without coat while the snow still towers high.
Wear Birkenstocks through the slush, though it makes me slip.

I am a stubborn person -
Don't you know?
I am a stubborn person -
And yes, I get myself in trouble.

LORD, teach me perserverance, focus, discipline.
How to work steadfast and with joy.
Till the end.
Even now, I'm nothing without you.
Even now.
