Winter Visit

Winter’s Visit
(Joseph’s Star)

Cold
As the wind
Blows across the land
Winter time seems very long
Outlined against a gray sky
Cold air brings shivers
Deep drift of
Snow

White
Wonderland
Brings some heart’s delight
Smoke curling up front chimney
The time of winter’s slumber
Weight down in pure white
Comes swirling
Down
 
There’s
The beauty
That renews all hope
With a simmer of sunshine
The north wind is waltzing on
The birds are singing
Spring has come 
Home
