Waiting for a Change of Season©

By Felina Silver Robinson
The sun has risen on this cold winter day
The leftover icy snow lies awaiting its thaw
The birds flock together where they’re off to
Not even they know
The trees are as bare as the leaves have all fallen
The grass that was once green
Is brown beneath the snow
The sunlight barely brightens such doom
And gloom of the winter’s chill
Each child awaits the next snowfall to replace their
Last snowman lost to the bright sun
Adults can’t wait for the next long ski weekend
As teenagers wait to go ice skating or tobogganing
All of this being a true sign
Of our long winter season
We both love and hate this Season
But with some patience
Spring and summer will soon be upon us
We too can find both fault and pleasure
With this dreaded season
