A whir of movement 

Outside your window

Is it snowing?

Put your coat on,

Race downstairs

Catch the flakes of soft white snow

On your eyelashes

Cross your eyes and watch them dissolve 

On your tongue

It is winter in Canada

It is freezing and wet but you love it

This is where you belong; this is your home

Red and white, red and white 

May these colors stay forever bright
