Here's another offering to Poet's Corner from a Treorchy lady.

"Remember When"

The snow fell down, the rain did too

I didn’t fall thank God, did you?

The countryside was white and aglow

Now look and see the mess below.

Grey slush, and slippery road, you’ll see

No more childish shouts of glee.

Children played happy and gay

A time of fun that lasted three days.

The sun shone bright, the days were cold

Freezing new plants, killing the old

But don’t be sad for the things that are gone

Soon snowdrops and crocus will peep through the lawn.

Remember when the sun shone

When all was clean and crisp that morn

Soon winter will end and you’ll forget

The cold in the air, the ice on the step.

Warm days will come and again we’ll see

Children playing happy and free

So remember now these days with glee

Forget the roads are slippery

Look for the springtime, for soft warm air

For warm sunny days without a care.
