Winter's Beginning
A cuddlesome babe when
The norther came
Wind-brushed cheeks,
She cried.
Mama pulled over a blanket on her face,
Ducked her own snooded head
Walked toward home
And warmth.
Off to school another day,
Another norther slashed her tender legs,
Shirley Temple curls blew wildly,
She learned her abc's.
Another norther another time,
She held hands with her football player,
Northers' winds unfelt,
She was in love.
A mother now, she cups another,
A cuddlesome babe in pink,
Pulling a blanket over her tears,
She drives a car to chocolate.
Northers came and northers went,
And bitter winter winds,
She's a babe again,
Winter winds can't blow on her.
And she sleeps to their singing
Dreams of blossoms and springs,
Sweet water-flowing springs,
Winter winds making music.
