The Joys of Winter

Winter! What beauty and pureness unfold Snow so white, falling like the rain in spring While some embrace this, others say it’s cold But this is the season to have a great fling Dancing and eating, come friends, lets sing Everywhere the sound of snow bells ringing Children peeping out the window lips stuck to the pane Front yards decked with snowmen, icicles dripping Pull out the snow sleds and toboggans lets go insane Lets forget about the season when we had wind and rain Lovers walking to the café, hand in hand All bundled up, knee high boots, scarves around the neck Soft and gentle music playing by the in-house band Nice and cozy on the inside empty chairs on the deck Her cheeks all rosy, he cups her face and on her lips plants a peck For 'Welcoming Winter' contest by Carol Brown
