Cold And Wintry

Once again it’s that time of year When a winter cold-snap appears Oh, the iciness surrounds us Maybe worse than we’ve had in years But the beauty is a winter sculpture Like a picture postcard from the mail Everything stands still it seems Tiny plants become so frail Our breath seems to hesitate As it’s locked right into space Like the horse I see at the gate Ice forming on his charming face And when we go for a ride we travel On roads that are white with snow Every detail etched on the ground Water in the streams cannot even flow But you know, it’s such a short time To enjoy this slow icy pace So get out your cameras, folks And snap this frozen wintry place!
