Weathering the storm

Are you uncertain of what the future holds for you or whether you can weather the storm? I hope you will enjoy the following which I recently wrote:

There is a small tree standing in a meadow with withered leaves from long days of scorching heat and little water. As the wind gently blows through its branches each day it loses its leaves one at a time until it looks sparse and ready to perish. As the cold approaches and its leaves are gone, it is an uncertainty if the tree will be able to withstand another harsh season or will die trying to survive the barren cold covered in a blanket of icy white. As it sleeps through the winter its will for survival is renewed and a new hope for tomorrow rises. Will this season be better? Will I bear fruit this year? Will the harsh elements kill my hope for a better tomorrow? On a beautiful spring morning it awakes to the warm sunlight melting the snow cover which is now providing live giving support and assurance of a better tomorrow. It now beams brightly with the hope of a new season and the expectations of a better tomorrow.
