Snow Bird

 

I hope each of you are at least seeing a few signs of winter being over. This has been a long, cold, hard, winter. I think even our birds in Idaho would like to be dressed as this cute little bird from Whimsy is dressed. I am getting an early start on my Christmas cards for this year.  I hope you are getting yours done as well....I know we don't want to think about Christmas this soon, but hey look how prepared we will be!

I am entering this card at the following challenges:

My Song: Snow Bird (Anne Murray)

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring

When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me
That's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's
The thing thing that I can't win

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
