IT IS WINTER AGAIN
Do you find it hard to think of sweet spring flowers
When freezing rain and snow comes down for many hours?
Hard to imagine a lovely warm vivid bright blue sky
When everywhere is cold and hard going and winter is nigh.
But there are those who love the winter with the snow,
So many things to do and different places they can go.
Winter sports to some are longer for all the year through,
Can’t wait to go skiing and salome racing do.
Although I like all season and winter is so pretty,
To have it for so long to me is a great pity,
But for the benifits of living in Canada so free and fair,
I’ll put up with winter’s blasts to live in peace there.
