Walk through the Winter Wonderland Wintertime has come once more Father Frost knocking on your door A crisp shiver lies in the air tonight The lights throughout the city shine so bright Silent lies the city; no soul will cross my way A star shines into my eyes with colors oh so gay Trees are bare without a leaf As I walk through the night in quiet reprieve A Song comes to mind And I start singing to unwind The sound echo’s through the empty alley As I’m walking along through the valley The windows filled with light and glitter A chilling wind that makes me shiver I think of you to keep me warm I wish we could walk along together arm in arm I put my hand back into the sleeve As I walk through the night in quiet reprieve My thoughts carry a wish especially for you my friend May harm and sorrow be prevent May all your days are filled with happiness and laughter From this day forward and there ever after May all the best will come to you May all your dreams come true I wish this for you with all my heart May an Angel stand for you on guard I come to the river, around the bend As I finish my walk through this Winter Wonderland My thoughts will be with you all A small token of saying "Thank you for being my friends" The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Lovely winter scene you painted, in fact you have made me cold, where's my coat? Put another log on the fire. It's sunny and warm here in California. |

Helmut, you've written this with such a feeling of placement...the cold, the quiet of the street as you walked, alone, through the winter night, the windows glowing with warmth and light...a scene that one can easily know, within your beautiful verse. Claire |
