Winter Bliss

Winter, my favorite time of year Breathing air so crisp and clear Critters return back to their nest Enjoying their long winter’s rest The sky shines with stars so bright On a clear, cold winter’s night The moon shines upon the fallen snow Glistens and sparkles on the earth below Country roads covered in white Picture perfect, a beautiful sight Carriage rides with a special love Feeling blessed from Heaven above Rivers frozen, turned to ice To a skater, pure delight Frozen fingers, frozen toes Bundled up in layers of clothes The night’s fire blazes bright Giving out the only light Hot chocolate in a favorite mug Wrapped in a blanket all nice and snug Winter winds whistles a song It’s melody, hums along Breath of Heaven frosts the ground Nothing but white for miles around Let us not forget Winters holiday The celebration of Jesus’ birthday Mankind spreading good cheer Family visiting from far and near Sugars and spices scent the air Cookies and candies to prepare Christmas carols, deck the halls Merry Christmas to one and all Winter introduces a New Year As the old one disappears New resolutions, new dreams The hustle and bustle of new routines Winter delights in so many ways Joy and contentment fills its days No other season holds such peace Where love is the rhythm to each heartbeat Winter, the season that I love A seasonal blessing from above A gift from God, I hold dear Winter, the best time of the year
