Wafts of wintry splendor
roll across my shoes.
Tickling the tip of my nose
anything to amuse.
I giggle at the exchange
between the natural world and me.
Nothing can ever cheer me up
like the earth and all the wonder I see.

His kisses are full of magic
They always remind me of simpler days
And I’m wishing we’d had a lifetime together
Think we’d have been happier in so many ways
His smile often reminds me of a sunrise
His cheeks rosy red from the bitter cold
And the way his eyes soften when he looks at me
Well, It’s a look that never gets old
I get lost in the depths of who he really is
The parts that nobody else can see
And when I’m snuggled up next to him
I finally feel like I can be me

There is no replacing a friend
The kind who speaks to you every day
Even just a simple hello or goodbye
Is all they ever have to say
For just knowing they are out there
Remembering that you exist
Makes them the best kind of friend
Whom none could ever resist

We often experience
A multitude of seasons
And nobody really knows
All of those reasons
But we carry on
Like we always do
Even when the answers
Are nearly none to few
And we never stop to question
What those seasons mean
Yet there must be hidden answers
In everything we’ve seen
Scattered between the pages
Of our monotonous lives
There have got to be reasons
For why we’ve somehow survived
And even if those answers
Are never actually found
We should all be happy
We’ve been allowed to stick around
So many people in this world
Never have that gifted chance
I guess it all depends
On our individual circumstance
