Winter is huddling at the bus stop in heavy coats
          Our breath wisping into the twinkling sky
          Starting the car minutes before we leave
          The heat all the way up and the defrosters on

Winter is walking through the halls in in fuzzy socks
          Wearing jeans and sleeves covering my wrists
          With a selection of hats, scarves, and gloves
          And a pair of warm brown boots well worn-in

Winter is the glittering snow falling from the sky
          Lungs breathing in the cold crisp air
          The ground turning white and sparkling brigh
          Snowmen, snowballs, sledding, forts, and angels

Winter is gripping a warm cup of hot cocoa with numb fingers
          Wrapping up in blankets on the sofa with family
          Watching flames flicker filling the room with warmth
          Falling asleep in fuzzy pajamas and piled blankets
