January's Embrace
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
January wakes with a frosty hue,
A world refreshed, so calm, so new.
Snowflakes dance in the morning light,
A gentle reminder of winter’s might.
The trees may sleep beneath the snow,
Yet beauty remains wherever we go.
Each step crunches on a path so clear,
The quiet whispers, "Peace is near."
Though the air is cold, there’s warmth to find,
In moments that calm both heart and mind.
January teaches, in her frosted way,
That every season has its day.
The stars at night in the wintry sky,
Shine with hope as the hours pass by.
They speak of hope for the days ahead,
A brighter path where dreams are led.
The fire’s glow on a winter’s eve,
Reminds us all to pause, believe.
In January’s stillness, we clearly see,
The blessings of life and all it can be.
So embrace January’s frosty glow,
Its sparkling skies and blankets of snow.
For even in winter, there’s magic to find,
A season of growth for heart and mind.
