Winter could be nice, a little at a time

Snow could be pretty, but too much makes me chilly

Perhaps if inside was warm, I'd feel a little better

It doesn't help to know that my house is practically the same

Weather as outside

Deteriorating temperature

And my temper goes with it

I'm tired of boot-wearing, can't we just kick it?

I miss flip-flops and t-shirts

Sunshine and frozen yogurt

I miss blue skies and butterflies, sailboats and lapping tides

A blanket of snow so beautiful and magical

Reminds me of the childhood I never will recapture

Crystallitis snow, it used to make me glow

But I have lost the rapture

Of a child

The special amazement in the eyes of Seth and Skye

Even Sierra pauses in her marathon of speech so dramatized

And I wish I could get back

But I can't

There is no way

And as for snow and winter, I'm sure it has it's place

But to get through this season, I'll need a lot of grace
