Winter Morn'






Oh, what a beautiful winter morn'
The frozen lake, glittering in the winter sun
Powdered white grass, sparkling so bright
The clear azure sky, a wondrous sight

Here I am again, as on many a morn'
Jogging round the lake, one step at a time
Lost in a world of my own, my thoughts only for me
Taking in every creature, all God's wonders, I see

On and on I jog, breathing in the clear fresh air
My body no longer cold, but warm through and through
Legs becoming tired, but not ready to cease
Keeping the rhythm, flowing along at ease

Sweet birds chirping in the trees above
Their music filling my heart with love
Telling me winter's not here for long
Springs coming, I hear it in their song

Finally, my run, to an end it comes
Content as can be, back home I head
But not before, a final glance I take
At the beauty of winter's frozen lake
