Let me think, while I sit here,
about something of substance.
We think spring, but it isn’t spring-like.
Instead it is cold;
there is a lot of snow on the ground;
the sky is gray;
it is misty and bleak.
Many will take a thanksgiving break
then came back happy for a day or two,
but later became depressed
because this weather has been vile
Too much snow and too cold
We need a change and soon
Problems are creeping up;
roof leaks;
falling trees;
icy roads and accidents;
slow business for the shops;
heating systems breaking down;
running out of wood to burn
the wind causing drifts
snowbirds sending happy cards
speaking loudly of warm days
Housework is piling up
No one has the energy
We need the sun;
gentle breezes;
soft warm rain;
robins and ducks;
flowers and weeds;
anything to cheer us;
but, we shall wait;
it will come
