Soft, white snowflakes pepper the ground Leaves from the trees, brown and withered Sunshine trapped behind the clouds A rush of wind disturbs the quiet Animals sleep in little nests Grass covered up, nowhere to be found Flurries of snow whisking around People covered up from head to toe Lakes frozen over with ice so smooth Frosty air freezing your fingers and nose But behind the darkness and gloomy cold There’s something very special to celebrate warmth A small little thing, hardly even a sprout Pokes through the snow to soak up the light A little green stem with a little green bulb Announces the first bloom of spring, and the end of the winter.
