Stand and wonder at the beauty that the Winter season brings
the starkness of the colder, shorter days,
fill your heart with happy birdsong as the chirpy robin sings
and Nature's whitest blanket softly lays.
You know that many days are filled with grey and cloudy skies
that hide the sun which gives you warmth and light,
though on a crispy day the picture clear before your eyes
Nature's beauty which inspires with sweet delight.
With Jack Frosts icy fingers tracing patterns all around
and breath escapes your lips in clouds of steam,
be careful where you tread for there is danger on the ground
and Nature wears the mantle of a dream.
The first few snowflakes fall and spread their wondrous magic spell
transformation of the landscape can be seen,
what lay beneath the mounds of snow no-one can really tell
and Nature paints the canvas white and clean.
To see the first Spring flowers as they push up through the snow
is sure to warm the coldest Winter heart,
or see the laughing children with their faces all aglow
and watch a New Year Cycle from the start.
