Warm respite
A warm respite
In the midst of winter cold
The day brightly lit
Sky clear, blue and bold
Sitting on my barren deck
Tiny flowers peeking forth
Gentle breeze across my neck
Grass showing some new growth
A promise of Spring to come
But the days are still short
Sun too soon finds its western home
Shivers end my brief resort
Father God smiling
Such a lovely way
Sent my spirit flying
With a perfect glorious day
