Warmth of Winter

Dipika Deo

Once the winter breeze hits 

The celebration begins

It's a warm cozy party

At the end of every year

The warmth of winter 

Despite the breeze

Is the only way winter should be

Snuggling by the fireplace 

And making smores

Or playing in the snow 

Until your hands feel numb

Making gingerbread houses

And the smell of hot cocoa 

Or setting up the Christmas tree 

With the scent of pine cones

Going ice skating 

And the soreness after

And watching the festive lights

Bring memories nothing compares

Winter is a celebration

From holiday cheer 

To a new year 

The joy winter unmatched

To seasons
