D.C. Winter

Winter is the most beautiful time of year,
When snow is falling in big flakes,
And snow on the side of roads,
Are built up in snow white banks.

The Northern States seem to have the most,
But some are seen in many States.
The beauty of it all is breathtaking,
And the joy kids have when they can skate.

Washington D.C. is known for harsh Winters,
The snow and cold are sure to come.
But seeing Winter approach them,
Is a welcomed sight by some.

It's like a Winter wonderland,
With ice on all the trees,
And the ground all covered with ice,
Everywhere one sees.

I've never been to Washington D.C.,
It must be a sight to see,
Especially in the Winter time,
That's a place I'd like to be.

I like the cozy feeling of a warm coat,
And a scarf around my head,
Or just relaxing in my home,
All warm and cozy in my bed.

I'm just a plain and simple person,
I like the simple things,
Like popping corn on cold nights,
And the warmth hot chocolate brings.

When snowy cold days are upon us,
I like to stay inside and rest.
Maybe do some quilting,
Or hobbies I like best.

The tree limbs are all so lovely,
When covered deep in snow,
And bright red cardinals sit on the branches,
Like a red hot coal that glows.

Red berries against the snow and ice,
Is something that can only be,
When Winter's at its best,
A seasonal thing to see.

Then soon it will be Christmas time,
And holly with red berries everywhere,
Mistletoe and decorations in the stores,
And ivy lines the stairs.

Boys and girls will ride their sleds,
Down the deepest hills they find,
With joyful glee as they enjoy,
Good old Winter time.

They will build snowmen over lawns,
As their imagination just goes wild,
That's the joy of snow in Winter,
The fun and laughter in watching a child.

Well whatever be the weather,
I'm sure we'll all survive,
As long as we have hope and faith,
And God is by our side.
