Cold Weather Joys

The winter brings short, frigid days,        
but we can find so much to praise
when sun’s bright and the redbird sings.				
Short, frigid days, the winter brings.

December’s here with plans in tow 
for Christmas feasts, tree lights that glow,
cantatas, carols, fireside cheer.
With plans in tow, December’s here.

On New Year’s Day, I celebrate.
Like others, I anticipate
great blessings. I rejoice and pray.
I celebrate on New Year’s Day.

A special time for valentines      
comes next with chocolates and wines,
red roses, and romantic rhyme~~
for valentines, a special time.
		
With season’s end, March makes the scene.
We start to see some blooms and green.
Four times per year, two seasons blend.
March makes the scene with season’s end.
