The Long Cold Winter Never Ends.

When winter comes, and all the trees are bare, not a green leaf or flower to lift my mood, and the cold darkness chills the air. I ache, just to lay out in the warm summer sun again, too warm my skin through to the bone. It would make me feel alive again and not feel so alone. I hate the winter I always have, the long cold nights are the worst. How I wish I could hibernate like a bear, and wake-up in the spring, with birds singing and flowers in full bloom. The warm spring sun on my face, this would surely lift my winters gloom.

    A ray of warm sunlight makes such a difference.
    Here we wait for the winter, for the sun to hide itself.

    After a long winter, there’s nothing like a little sunshine to brighten up your day.
