Winter
Winter is a majestic time of the year.
The trees are like sleeping giants weighted down
with snow and ice. They await the warm rays of the sun to
free them from their heavy load.
As we look out over the land on a moonlit night,
the clouds move slowly across the sky casting shadows
over the glistening snow, sparkling like diamonds.
Winter is a time to relax at home and reflect on the
good times spent with your loved ones. Its a time to
dream and make plans for the future.
Winter is a burden for some, but for me its a
time to slow down and enjoy the beauty of it all.
