Winter's Departure

Spring came back to town today
In all her glorius style
Winter packed up in a huff
And left us for a while

We all thought Spring was gone for good
For Winter had stayed so long
And though we tried to be Winter's friend
She draped us in her cold sarong

She'd ice the roads over
And even freeze the lake
No one forgot her cold demeanor
Or the warmth she'd always take

But when Spring blew in with her flowery array
And the sun seemed to shine so bright
Winter could not stay around 
So she left in the middle of night

We know that she's not gone for good
For she always rushes back too soon
As Spring always leaves for Summer
Fall also leaves for Winter's melancholy tune
