It came in without concern for others <br />It didn’t matter to whom it would offend <br />It was rude and cold and mean <br />A wintry blast is what nature sent <br /> <br />A solid frozen world we were given <br />No matter if we wanted it or not <br />It was not what we’d have chosen <br />But a wintry blast is what we got <br /> <br />Folks died because of the weather <br />So many things can go wrong <br />Ice given in such magnitude <br />Is so furious and so very strong <br /> <br />Everything was encased in ice <br />Clear and hard and cold <br />We couldn’t walk or even drive <br />And believe me it soon grew old <br /> <br />Well, we know nothing lasts forever <br />But there is one thing that we ask <br />We pray for warmer kinder weather <br />And melt this wintry blast!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wintry-blast/
