The Neverending Winter Poem by Jacquie StewartHeimann

A new day dawns with colors red
The morning creeps across the bed

As I arise to start the day
My body groans, it wants to stay

Tucked up in bed, the warmth it knows
Snug and safe with toasty toes

It’s cold outside, the snow abounds
Piled deep upon the ground

The wind is chill, bites to the bone
Icicles crack with eerie tone

Will this winter never end?
Gray days, dark nights, they start to blend

I wish for summer’s searing heat
To warm my soul, my mind, my feet

To see some green instead of white
To see spring’s birds dance in flight

To see the roses start to bloom
To have the sun disperse the gloom

But with a start my thoughts return
To hear and now, that’s my concern

I grab my coat and winter array
Head out the door and face the day
