WINTER'S BEAUTY

                               WAITING FOR MORE TO COME

                               The winter's storm had past

                               The days following were nice

                               And the melting was not fast

                               Of the lasting snow and ice

                               Having so slowly and barely melted

                               My mother remarked observantly

                               Made a remark that has lasted

                               About the snow and icy winter's beauty

                               That had so barely completely melted

                               Was waiting for more to come, patiently
