Well, All hope seems lost
On this bleak Winter's day
No leaves on the trees
And the sky pasty grey
The birds are all huddled
Somewhere far away
Oh! Where is the sun
On this cold Winter's day
But something is stirring
I see one...now two
My heart starts to quicken
My heart starts to quicken
And i don't feel as blue
.
By Hundreds then Thousands
They come to my door
Their knock, it is silent
Yet, i cannot ignore...
Their call, So I bundle
Then step into the yard
My mood it is changing
It wasn't that hard
The first snow of Winter
Has brightened my day
Mr. Sun, just stay hidden
So i can go play
I'll make me an angel
Or a snowman named Matt
Back inside for a moment
To get him a hat
My tongue it lies waiting
To taste winters fare
My heart is unburdened
I've nary a care
The birds come to visit
There's plenty of seed
The song they are singing
Is just what I need
The night brings a silence
The moon casts it's glow
For Winter's much better
When frosted with snow

Lovely, Marmee! Beautiful images and Hubby's poem fits them just perfectly.
Wishing you all the best in 2010!
Hi Marmee, I am so glad I scrolled down to catch up with you! The poem by your darling is just the best ever! You have illustrated it perfectly as well. It expresses the season and the way we feel about it here in Tennessee.
Best wishes for 2010 to you and yours. Do stay warm for these next few shivery days. Maybe we will get that cheering snowfall described so well in the poem. :-)
