Winter
A poem about the winter season and the joys of the holidays.
The chill comes as the winter sun raises to meet the day
The birds come out to play
~
Small tiny snow flakes fall through the air
The trees give up their leaves without care
~
The land is covered in a sea of white
Frigid feelings of cold winter nights
~
Christmas view dancing in the cool moonlight
Luminous icicles majestically sparkling
~
Smells of cooking,
Wine drinking,
~
Sitting by the fireplace fast sleeping
Family and friends gather in the den
~
Singing of joy and magic from faithful hearts
A reminiscence of the glory and sacrifice He impart
~
Sharing elation...
