Winter Cold

My baby's cold and I don't know why Tears greet me in the morning I turn my thoughts to the auburn sky Paying no heed to the storms warning Hard to sit on a day like this My baby's brown cheeks gleaming Raven hair in a tangled mess Still she's the one I'm needing Her cold front chills me to the bone A winter of a lover In her forest deep but not alone She'll thaw me out come summer When April's warmth changes the scenery My baby's mood will blossom Like daffodil's in early spring As birds serenade their loved ones Till that cold chill wind blows back around My baby's mood remembered Black raven hair with a chocolate frown As we bundle up for winter
