MY TAKE

Winter Breeze

I will gaze at the stars,
They are all so bright,
On a wonderful clear winter night, Feeling the breeze,
Watching the trees,
They’re swaying with grace,
In this peaceful little place,
 It's getting colder than it 
was before,People are sick and sneezing,Because this weather is so freezing,

One of the prettiest times 
of year, Winter season is 
finally here, For a white 
blanket as you slumber, Yummy things like hot chocolate cakes, Cookies, treats, and sweets galore,

 A fascinating season Winter is, With it’s beauty, peace, 
and bliss, Christmas is 
almost here, A holiday filled with such cheer, Giving and getting so many things, 
Being with family, enjoying everything it brings, 

You had already made your list, You wake up and hope to find your wish,
Unwrap the box and look 
inside, You saw your wish and nearly cried, Oh, how 
wonderful Winter can be,

From the holidays to the scenery, My favorite thing, however, I have trouble choosing, Everything is great, and it’s only just arriving.
