A Child\'s Country Snow

Take me back to the 

sparkle of younger eyes 

of the glistening snow 

on a clear clear winter\'s night ,

by the brightness of a full moon\'s 

silvery light 

 

The fireplace with the

roaring flames high 

and the lights down low ,

the blue flames with the

orange firecoals aglow 

 

Sometimes hearing a hoot owl 

hollering up on the hill 

far away In the trees ,

when outside on the porch 

in the cold winter breeze 

 

I would look out of my window 

sometimes when I awoke 

late at night ,

and see a tree\'s shadow moving in the wind 

I thought was scary 

from the full moon\'s light 

 

The trees on the hills 

dancing with each other 

when a strong gust of wind blows, 

and the snow falling from them 

filling the air 

as it goes 

 

They are like players on a stage 

putting on a real show, 

for no one else but me 

for only I know 

 

These are some of the memories 

of when I was a child 

so many years ago ,

and I might not have remembered them 

if it wasn\'t for tonight\'s full moon 

beautiful snow
