Cold Icy Hush

Little crystals of ice on the ground They always amaze me so The crunchy sound beneath my feet I hear wherever I go Laced across the plants Ice clings tightly like a frozen vest We wonder if they'll survive till spring If they'll past the icy test Crocus' are popping up here and there Right under the winter crust Oh dear do you think they'll make it? Warmer weather is really a must And look at the adorable bird Inside the iced-up bird bath Looks like a layer of snow As I walk down the garden path It's a wonderful time of year In the cold and icy hush Yes, I'm anxious for spring to come But I guess there's not really a rush!
