January`s 26th 2008

Christmas is left behind,
The excitement of New Year gone,
The cold January winds blow,
As log fires we dwell upon.

Outdoors through the January gales,
Tiny shoots are making their way,
Through cold wintered clay,
Soon to show us their springtime display.

But for now I will enjoy the indoors,
In all its cosiness,
And look forward to spring flowers,
In all their lovliness.
