Trading

By Debbie Pettey

I’m trading my warm hat

For wind-tossed hair.

I’m trading my coat

For a sweater to wear.

I’m trading my boots

For some shoes I can run in.

I’m trading the snow

For some grass to have fun in.

I’m trading my gloves

For a kite and some string.

I’m trading in winter

So it can be spring!
