Here in the  north it's starting to  snow.

The earth glistens and the  cold winds blow.

The trees are bare with an icy  sheen

What a beautiful sight on  the  evergreen.

I love the  beauty that Nature has wrought

But I don't like the feeling that the cold has brought.

I feel the crunch that's beneath my feet

As I walk on the  snow  with it's coat of  sleet.

I look up above at the  wintry sky

The stars look down and  they catch my  eye.

 I feel so  blessed to  live where I belong

But the bitter cold lasts far too long.

I  need someone to keep me warm when winter comes this way

Until that time  I'll just be content  to stay indoors and play

So  maybe someday soon  I'll move to where the  warm breezes beckon

And live in  the land where the air  is fine and the  "natives" say," I reckon"
