The Welcome Change

Actually, I have seen spring skip its turn a lot these last few years.

No winter lasts forever, no spring skips it’s turn.

THE WELCOME CHANGE

Bound together at a family Thanksgiving

People are gleeful, life is worth living

Christmas cheer is at an all time high

Silently the snow sneaked in overnight

Winter is welcomed with outdoor activities

People united in family festivities

Then after the holidays old man winter creeps on

And on and on and on

The brisk air so refreshing a mere month before

Chills our bones from even behind our closed doors

Depression sets in as the icy old man lingers

Frostbite numbs our toes and our fingers

Can it be relief is in sight once again?

Winter retreats and spring stumbles in

Snow birds come north and build nests for their brood

Just like we hopefully knew that they would

Spirits rise as the robin, he sings

It's typical of what the fresh season brings

Winter tips his hat as he bids us so long

Waving goodbye he is gone, gone, gone, gone
