Old
Man Winter
A
gust of wind
A
flurry of Snow!
Winter
is soon over!
Let's
watch as it goes!
"Old
Man Winter"
Whistles
and moans!
"Oh
not just yet
..the
geese have not flown!"
"Ah!
But look ahead!
There
in the sky!
And
what's this I hear?
is
that a goose's cry?"
"Honk
if you will!
...honk
if you must"!
...Says
'Old Man Winter'
(in
the wind that he gusts!)
"Oh
no! Not just yet!
(he
says, oh so strong!)
...I
have not yet heard
a
red robins, sweet song!"
Then
there in the bushes
out
came a small bird
and
'Old Man Winter'
was
not happy what he heard!
"Oh
No, not YOU!
(said
he with a smile)
...now
I KNOW tis over
..but
for a short while!"
"For
I will return
and
this much I know
you
will miss the beauty
of
what you call 'snow'!"
And
with that he sighs
and
the blanket of snow
he
rolls up like carpet
then
carries, and goes...
Then
the air grows warmer
and
Life is renewed
splendor
is everywhere
in
everything that is viewed!
We
will surely miss him
And
his world of ice
But
for now let us enjoy
this
new season, so nice!
