| Winter Welcome The wind has become fierce and cold Snow will soon cover the ground Beautiful and pure frozen rain Patient relief from summer heat The drifts slow footsteps Snow banks warn commuters not to drive too fast The sun begins to hibernate Looking out windows at icicles and gray skies There is wonder and fulfillment For the restless dreamer and the simple heart A kitten curled by the fireplace A Christmas puppy wrapped in a bow Snug and warm in a heavy quilt The strength of a lover's arms The nights are longer and the world becomes still Which give me more time for you |
