What I love in Winter

In winter days seem short and harsh, they're filled with ice and snow and dark.

It's then I like my cocoa, before a fire bright so.

I like spicy homemade gingerbread, and gentle words all around said.

So what's new this year you say? "Nothing!" And I'm glad it's that way.

I like to be snug and warm inside, and watch the weather roil outside.

Your hand in mine, a kiss in time, and tenderness between us kept.

When day is done, we've had our fun, and all is put to rest, I love you best in Winter.
