a silence






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
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

happy new year's eve.
