Flowers lost to the cold
Snow clouds bring a haze
Threshold of winter upon us
Darkness with shorter days



It's not a time I look forward too
Many a winter storm
Cold and slush, freezing
I'd rather it stay warm



But, as I watch the first snow fall
This is what I find
There is so much beauty all around
That I have changed my mind



So, one month of snow would be perfect
We could OOH and AHH everyday
Then spring and summer, eleven months
Now, THAT would make winter, OKAY!!
