Wales' Tales



After a week of wintery cold,
A promise of thaw is a thought to behold.
A chance to de-ice when we know what’s the norm,
Allows us to slough off the wind and the storm.
You don’t have to shovel when springs in the air,
When skies are bright blue and the temperatures fair.
We’ll break out light jackets and put away gloves,
For this is the weather that everyone loves.
But a thought in our mind lurks in shadows so deep
That reminds us that winter is only asleep.
For we live in Kansas, where weather is fickle.
To bet on the springtime ain’t worth a plug nickel.
For somewhere up north, a frigid wind waits
To put snow and ice on our newly cleaned plates.
An arctic vortex is just smacking its lips,
Preparing to move when the coin finally flips.
A wind from the north will then start to blow
With promise of snow fall and temps ten below.
But that’s just ol’ Kansas, the usual change
Extreme from one kind just isn’t that strange.
That’s why we grow tough and survive as we do,
For early in life we learn nothing’s new
With regular change of days that go by.
No use in complaining, so why even try.
We just need remember that if we just wait,
A change in the weather will be our next fate.
And as we expect the nice weather to cease,
We pick up our scarves, and enjoy God’s sure…
