    A Winter View

    Written a couple of years ago...but oh so relevant again...sigh!

    A Winter View

    As I look out the window I see snow a falling
    And in the corner my E-Trac is a calling
    “Not now my trusty friend”
    “We must wait till the snow will end”
    The targets are there they will wait
    Until the snowy weather does abate
    Then once again we search the fields
    Recovering all the soil yields
    But in my mind I hear its plaintive voice
    “Wait I must for I have no choice”
    In my heart I know its pain
    For I too wish to hunt again
    Patience is a virtue some will say
    But I can’t wait for the hunting day
    When the grass is green and the Sun is bright
    And once again we restore to light
    Treasures lost now found anew
    Presented to all in a grand debut
    Winter’s here making spirits glum
    But hope is there for the Spring to come.
    Psalms 24:1 ¶ The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains...But God shares with us who search!
