Dear Winter!

Dear Winter,

We welcomed you with open arms,

and laughing hearts,

as the flakes began to fall,

You gave us more snow this year,

than in many years since 1974.

I ask you Dear Winter,

is it not time to go?

Is it now not Springs turn,

to melt the snow,

and underneath the grass shall turn to green,

flowers will bloom,

birds will return,

and in time we will once again long for you!
