Will This Winter Ever End?






The wind is blowing through my hair
The sky is dark, the trees are bare
The ice is crunching under my feet
The cars are skidding down the street.

Yes, winter’s here, seems like forever
My soul cries out for nicer weather!
So tired of worrying about the drive.
Just strive to stay alive past five!

The chill goes through, right to the bone ~
All things fun have been postponed
The ice is scraped from the windshield
Aha, clear glass is just revealed!

I start my car and as it warms
I turn on the weather ~ Oh no!! More storms!!
They’re heading straight for us again!!
Not sure how much or just quite when…

If I shut the news will it not be so?
My brain cries out, please, no more snow!!
But snow will come, with sleet and rain
Jeez, winter is a royal pain.

But, like everything it soon will pass
I can’t wait to once again see grass!
To not be cold, to sit outside
Visit the beach and watch the tide

Yes, spring will be here very soon
So no more doom and no more gloom
We’ll ride this out, stay safe for sure
Pretty soon we’ll smell the spring’s manure!!

And as we sit and try to chat
We’ll sniff and say, Yuck, what is that?
We’ll each make a strong, elaborate plea
Being sure to state, “It wasn’t me!”

The smell of spring will waft around
We’ll plant and fertilize the ground
The birds will sing, the bees will buzz
My hair will frizz, all full of fuzz

Just wait, and soon the sun will shine
Staying out until almost 9!
Yes, all things pass, so winter must
On that there’ll be no breach of trust!
