Canadian Winter Walk

On a cold winters day stepped out into the cold

My furry blue hat keeping my ears from freezing cold

The cold air I felt travelling down to my lungs

Cold winter winds nipping at my nose and down to my toes

As I took each step in my warm winter boots

The crackling sounds as I took each step in the new fallen snow

The blue sky overhead filled with clouds of white

Lends colour to the world below

The trees wearing their white mittens

I walked on swinging my arms walking on this winters day

My coat crackling as my arms swung at my sides

The vision of smoke billowing from chimneys as I looked straight ahead

The cars passed by slowly with clouds following behind

I walked on the birds not singing too cold to make bird sounds

The squirrels in their leaf homes high off the ground

My cheeks pinched from the winter's cold

I remember the feeling from many winters past

The appreciation for the warmth of a home

The sounds of the crackling and snapping from the cold

Were the only sounds I kept hearing while walking home

Home at last I opened the door meeting the warmth of the air

I will now sit down and enjoy my hot cup of tea

Tomorrow will strike out again in winters white lands

Thinking it will not be long hopefully before seeing spring again!
