Winter
It’s 15 degrees outside,
And, inside, I prefer to hide.
Yet, I want to experience the sunshine
And feel its warmth upon my body and spine.
I desire to watch the beautiful views
And rid myself of the winter blues.
I hope to experience amazing things
As desire for spring pulls on my heartstrings.
It’s 15 degrees outside,
Yet, early spring daffodils, I have already spied.
There is an encouraging hope in the air
As the migrating birds, their presence, they declare,
When the browns turn to green
And sunshine on new growth gleans,
Or even when the ground warms
And seedlings form.
But more marvelous than my hope for spring
Is the joy my Lord brings.
It was here yesterday
When the cold promised to stay.
It is here today,
Come what may.
And, it will be here tomorrow
Whether the sun shines or the weather promises snow.
Through winter, summer, spring, or fall,
God is in it all
Providing a wonder and something to amaze
Until upon my Lord’s face, I gaze.
It’s 15 degrees outside,
But God’ holds me in his arms, open wide,
And I am here for the ride.
