One Winter

One Winter David J Walker It is a drifter Named winter Who never Keeps promises One winter I moved into an igloo In the front yard But only for an afternoon until Mother called us in for hot cocoa I loved to sled I loved to stand at the window pain And watch freezing rain turn to snow Making me think of sledding And when I might go One winter There was no winter Only gray days that made you feel cold hateful There was no snow there was no winter
