When Times Are Cold

Aloft the mountains atop the trees, Snowy glaciers ought to freeze

Upon the scape and beyond the hills, a rush of breeze brought with chills

Cold as ice and deathly bitter, to hibernation runs each critter

Though we know its mother nature, flaunting to us her arctic stature

Tis merely a season of earth’s rotation, a variable in the world’s equation

But seen as though it ought to stop, for nary grows a single crop

Doctors called and sickness befalls, and so we blame that which follows Fall

As needles though the bitterness stings, time ticks by until the spring

And upon its coming, its welcomed arrival, no more strife or struggled survival

Dead trees wake and flowers bloom, to happiness from a solemn gloom

And on press us to no less ends, then to continue new with lively amends

New times, new days, new months and years, old friends come to share the cheers

For false reasons Misunderstood she sits, cold as ice with teeth in grit

While her icy sheets begin to shatter, no longer must her jawbones clatter

She looks at all that people see, flowers, bushes, and many a tree

Rain and shine and rainbow glamour, voiceless is she to even clamour

Aye, she’s cold and even bitter, and causes hiding for each critter

Many through sickness feed the buzzard, especially from her deathly blizzard

For hardly can you even protest, that in his wit he made contest

Alas there is no reasonable contention, for this is a divine dimension

Did you possibly think He could mistake, a creation only he could make?

I proclaim to you a simple thing; in your ears it ought to ring

Nothing amongst the land made by He, wasn’t from his mind, but was all foreseen

To find a flaw a most weary endeavor, to outsmart the greatest mind so clever

Not just in a blossoming glade, but even in winter a beauty He made

And in this cold and bitter period, the reasons to excite are surely myriad

Coldness brings about the senses, and weary muscle cease to tenses

Yet tighter grip and closer bring, than fall or summer, even spring

Those who grow and whose great esteem, to be a lifelong pair, a loving team

To enhance these feelings that are so fond, to tighten them more, a threaded bond

With Thanks and Giving and Christmas too, these feasts bring closer every two

To thank and give and to rejoice, a time where actions are louder than voice

Gifts of scent and sweets and gold, but something more simpler is yet so bold

A special time when we are cold, the simplest gesture never gets old

A gesture simple yet so becoming, few better ways to express thy loving

In all the times and all the seasons, purpose He gave for his own reasons

For when other time is it oh so cold, those you love you tightly hold

As long as you like this time you’ll use, to show your affection with such great excuse

And here I say it so you have been told, what to do when times are cold

Hold each other close and snug, there’s nothing as warm as a heartfelt hug
