When daylight grows longer - 7th February

Sorry, somehow my thread failed last Sunday, so here the new theme:

When daylight grows longer

When daylight grows longer

For months the days were short and long the night
Darkness and frost with cold sprinkling moonlight,
How good it then feels being in a warm home
Wishing nobody was cold and alone.

Few soft nights when in silence snowflakes fall
When magic takes over and captures us all.
Thus present the thoughts of daylight to grow,
When nature’s token first glimpse of Spring show.

Slowly they’re fading, the long shadows of night
On benefit to next morning’s new daylight.
Earlier the sun’s rising over hilltops still white
It’s worth to get up and admire this sight.

Yes, daylight grows longer, soon Winter is done
Again we’re lucky to feel the warmth of the sun.
Forests will bear new life, deadened sleep is past
Not long and the crimson roses smile at last.

The shortest day has been and gone
Winter is still around, for just a while
poor robin fluffs his feathers, and sings
While I wrap up and try to smile.

Although it is a cold freezing day
I see through the snow, bulbs are growing
Days are getting longer, so flowers bloom
Although outside it still is snowing.

i sit near the fire, keeping warm
Eating good food, and talking
with loved ones, holding hands
waiting for warmer days, so we can go walking
