Winter Visions
On hot summer days I miss the sight of Winter
When snow is a blanket in the height of Winter
I think of sleigh rides and cups of hot chocolate
and skiing slopes covered with the white of Winter
And despite tree branches and their absence of leaves
I don't feel the bareness is a blight of Winter
There's serenity in the world as Christmas nears
Pine garlands are used as the bedight of Winter
Children have dreams of Santa bringing them new toys
Their bright eyes and smiles are the limelight of Winter
Such a joyous season for friends and family
Gathering to feast, is a highlight of Winter
on New Year's Eve, after Auld Lang Syne is sung,
We'll share a kiss on this special night of Winter
So as Autumn nears, gold leaves will tumble aground
It's the harbinger to the birthright of Winter
I yearn for cooler days and Summer's heat to end
and for Fall to make way for the flight of Winter
I, Jenna, say, "Let winds blow. Soon there will be snow
When I'll gladly bask in each delight of Winter"
