The Nights Are Fare Drawin In
There's a famous old Scottish saying
'the nights are fare drawin in'
this relates to the increasing darkness
where winter comes upon us in a spin
As now in the midst of January
it's bitterly cold, windy and wet
heavy coats scarfs and boots are the rule
with woolly hat keeping head from cold
Real snowflakes are not far away
before long they'll smother us all
making us all snowmen at heart
glad our height helps us think tall
Many people face depression
in those dark months of winter
a cloud so dark tears one down
one seeks a spring flower occasion
Winter brings a crispness in the air
early morning frost wakens our mind
at times it really takes your breath away
though spring brings hope perfectly signed
('The Nights Are Fare Drawin In', this is an old Scottish saying when winter starts to come upon us in Scotland and we have less light in the skies. So this is written with regard to this Scottish saying.)
