The ice glistens off of the branches that are bare
Making the winter trees appear like priceless jewels
My breath turns to frost in the cold morning air
Then reality hits and I remember the rules
Be careful out there when you drive on the ice
Although the beauty is more than ample
Because the chance can be more than a roll of the dice
And you don't want to become an example
Winter sights are a thing to behold
And should be treasured throughout your existence
If you're lucky and careful you'll live to be old
Because it's a joy when you make it the distance
