Without Snow

It's not the same without the snow,
since I have moved out west.
I could not walk, I could not drive;
no more snow was my quest.

But then I came to realize
the beauty of the snow.
I miss the flakes and their soft fall,
but how was I to know?

Out here, it rains and rains and rains,
the winter season through.
Maybe, sometimes, one day in ten,
there is a glimpse of blue.

Well, here I'm stuck, rest of my life.
without that wintry joy.
Just buckets, barr'ls, oceans of rain
and, really, it does cloy.
