Solace Through Winter

Jonah Juarez

Growing older our minds no longer think of winter as we did as children

Winter is now a time of stress,

A time of frigid states of mind,

Where each month feels the same

What happened to our innocent minds?

Winter was a time of joy,

A time of spirit and cheer,

We never wanted it to end

But now?

Sometimes I think that if we thought of Winter as we did,

We would celebrate the frozen months for the beautiful time it is

A time of togetherness,

A time of giving,

A time lost,

A time that needs remembering
