Winter Linger

So many days of winter linger
It may never pass away
Frozen toes an fingers
Cloudy, gloomy days

A thought becomes a daydream
Replayed so many times
Wishing for the summer
To warm the bones inside

The chill is never gentle
The land is pure snow-white
Always cold and bitter
Weighs upon a weary mind

Tell me warmer weather
Are you far yet from the cold
Chase away this winter
Let the sunlight ever glow

There remains a charm in every season
Even beauty to behold
However when it comes to winter
There is no better place than home
