A Time Of Year

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Winter is a time of year
That some look forward to and cheer
But for others, winter feels cold
They just sit back and grow old.

But when you see that first snowfall
Childhood days can be recalled
Day of building a snowman
With friends and family, the clan.

If you open your eyes you will see
The beauty of the season, it can be
When the  icicles shimmer in the sun
The beauty is like no other one.

Winter brings Christmas cheer
Spending it with people who are so dear
Friends and family around the fire
Will fulfill all of your heart's desire.

So when winter arrives this year
Don't sit back, get out in full gear
Enjoy the time this season brings
Before you know it, it will be spring!
