The icy blast stings my cheeks
Snowflakes whipping at me, its been weeks
But this time winter is here to stay
I want it warm but I\'m not getting my way
All signs of autumn are gone
In my backyard I see a doe and her fawn
All the animals in search of food
The trees about to be stripped nude
Now snowflakes the size of nickles fall
Adding up accumulations inches tall
The wind has died down for today
And the children run outside to play
