Winter's Chill

Silently the snow falls.

A thick blanket covers all.

Whiter than a Halloween ghost.

Looks like we're in for the long haul.


Can't say I'm thrilled.

But does no good to complain.

All the fuming and fretting

Would be totally in vain.


So, might just as well

Sit back and watch it snow.

Put another log on the fire.

Watch the embers' red glow.


Dream of the robin's return

And the bloom of the daffodil.

The first rose of summer.

Instead of winter's chill.
