COUNTING IT ALL JOY!
The month of love
February brings Winter chills
As the winds blow
Love is in the air
Snow covers the mountains
With blankets of crystal white beauty
Stolen moments of
Whispers of love
In the air
A kiss blown
In the Winter light
A heart captured
In the crystal beauty
Of Winter
A whisper
Of love
Is in the air
Caught and captured
Turns to hearts
Into one
Melting the Winter chills
Into love
