SCOTLAND (ALBA) A WINTERS TALE

poem by: Steven Godfrey
Written on Jan 24, 2017

By Steven Godfrey

Wake up in the morning, to find out what's in store 
Sunshine for an hour , rain for even more 
Weather unpredictable from one day to another 
 Looking out the window ,  just nature and it's mother 

The sky is so heavy now ,look  here comes the snow 
A blizzard none the less ,  with temperatures nudging  below ,
Frost will surely follow ,  it isn't far away 
Up here it's just a normal winters day  

Such a beautiful country , but always come prepared 
Scenery at its very best , and better when it's shared 
Pack some warm clothes , some boots and a brolly
For the weather can often make you feel a little  melancholy , 

Four seasons in one day , is Alba to a tee 
A guaranteed warm welcome always comes for free
So any time of year when you choose to come and  stay 
You'll never forget Scotland ,stunning every day  .
