Winter
Winter comes around only once a year
The so sweet sensation when it’s finally here
Trees that have lost every one of their leaves

Cute Christmas ornaments on the tree to behold

Into loving arms, how I love to be bared

Washing away all of the blessings winter brings
Oh until next year, I’ll wait for the season again
All of the things that in winter have been
