Winter Wonder


      Time was when all seasons were a joy of discovery

         Spring bringing the flowers,
         Summer the Sun and beach,
         Autumn the amazing colors and season's harvest,
         And winter the most wonderest of all, snow and christmas.

      Somewhere along the line it seems I have forgotten that.

         Winter is upon us
         and I feel like how quickly things pass us by
         but winter never quickly enough
         and please would spring get here fast!

     When did Winter quit being a wonder and become so obsolete?

         I know I am not alone in this abyss of feeling,
         Time and time again I hear that someone is impatient for spring.
         How I wish to get back that wonder of winter
         and the miracle each day brings.
