WHEN YOU SEE WINTER
 What do you see when you see winter, do you 
 See the mountains?

 The cold, layered snow that rests so high, 
 Almost touching the sky.

 When the wind blows through the trees, do 
 you see the falling leaves?

The snow coming down is beautiful and white, 
 What a winter sight.

 When you see Winter, do you see the frozen 
 Pond where water hides,

  Is there a lake you remember, as once you 
  Were a child in another time.

   Do you recall Icicles hanging from a rooftop, 
   From tree limbs in the woods,

  Do you see children you once knew, flying 
  Down the hill on sleds and saucers.

  When you see, do you see with your memories, 
  Are your eyes closed, a scene from before, Icy roads you once drove with a th a family, roads you wandered on your own,

When you see Winter, does a life flash before your eyes,

Once from a child's mind.
