WINTERTIME (1979)
Winter is a time...
Of homecomings and parades
Of gentle embraces and tender caresses
Of sugar cookies and candy canes
Of silver 'cycles frost-pasted on pastel skies
Of pleasant fires, hot chocolate and
buttered pop-corn
Of soft sentiment and serenity sublime
Of bountious harvests from previous plantings
Of walking softly as with shoes of snow
Of cold noses and warm hearts
Winter is a time...for pondering the past in
preparation for the future.
