Old Winter Wind

Old winter wind
my age old friend
how long I have waited
to see you again

Thy darkened days
and long quiet nights
how soon to bring forth
thy wondrous sights

With dew drops frozen
like jewels on leaves
and sparkling icicles
hanging from eves

While snowflakes fall soft
in the night all around
a bluish white blanket
to cover the ground

Then skates and sleds
and skis and things
a wonderful playground
each year you bring

Yes old wind
my wintry friend
it surely is good
to see you again.

G'day Kevin … never really seen snow, but we get plenty of wind from Antarctic blasts to sapping hot Northerlies. Your verse describes winter in a positive frame Kevin - Lindsay
