Happy New Year!
The fireworks burnt out, the celebrations over;
An array of pretty colours, a New Year now hung-over!
And soon the workers back to their old work load
Walking on the slippery, black iced darkened road.
School is back to normal after festive treats,
Wanting to stay in bed beneath the warmer sheets.
Books with all Christmas hymns have all now been sung;
Now the brand New Year has only just begun.
Wind and rain are here again and frost is on the grass.
Cars are frozen cold, hearing the scraping of the glass.
People wrapped up in coats and scarves shiver in the weather;
Animals trying to keep warm, huddled up together.
Winter solstice turns the corner wanting spring to start;
Planted bulbs come into life, putting warmth back in my heart!
The daylight hours longer, the summer's on its way,
Thinking of a holiday and time to get away!
The animals and insects that start to procreate;
The shrubs and flowers and trees that regenerate.
Yearning for the spring time quickly to arrive,
Wake up every morning feeling more alive!
And soon it will be Mothers' day with all our children caring;
Open arms and open hands with gifts they will be bearing.
Soon after lent with Easter day close after;
Children's games of hunting eggs with some fun and laughter.
Pink and white blossom leaves grown on pretty trees,
A typical spring day hearing all the birds and bees!
Marvelling at the tulips and the crocus flowers;
Dancing in the rain during the April showers!

And as I walk through the crunchy
brown leaves,
A reminder of winter with an icy cold
breeze.
The autumn foliage in the roads
rotting and decaying;
A fast ride in the snow, watching
people sleighing!
While we are still in the season of the wintry throes,
Wearing all our warmer, woolly winter clothes.
Waking up to sub zero, hot water bottle cool;
Wishing we could skip this time of year of cold and Yule.
