Not a Whit

The sun is warm;
The air is cold.
I didn’t care
‘Til I got old.

And now, although
Today it’s spring,
I miss the scarf
I didn’t bring.

Yet I’ll stay out 
And soak some rays,
Remembering 
My younger days

When cold concerned me
Not a whit,
‘Cause on a bench
I’d never sit.

I wasn't much of a "bench sitter", either, Ilene. A very nice piece to help us ease into Spring.
