Jo Bien Poet Verse

Summer On the Way

the wind blows hard
and winter's turned cold
I pulled up my collar
against the driving snow
the roads are slick
and covered with thick ice
I dream of warmer days
and summer on the way

my eyes are stinging
watering with tears
it hasn't been this way
for oh, so many years
I'm chilled to the bone
just longing to be back home
I dream of warmer days
and summer on the way

out here in the heartland
all the pipes are freezing up
snow is piling in drifts
there is way more than enough
a snow day for the kids
a skiers paradise
I dream of warmer days
and summer on the way

bring back the heat
days by the swimming pool
days of shorts and flip-flops
sweat with all I do
I can take anything
I don't have to shovel
I long for warmer days
and summer on the way
