Another Coming Winter
David J Walker

Winter is a longtime coming son
And even longer leaving 

Before the seasons done 
With its freezing ways 

Though 

It seems the summer 
	Outstays

It's welcome 

Its warming trend 
Seams to end 

Without warning 

And fall is all we have 

To buffer 
	Another 
Coming winter
