Snow
Snow has fallen throughout the night
covering every branch and tree in sight.
A blanket of snow covers the ground,
not a footprint or animal track around.
Deep, silent and glistening white
a gift from Heaven to excite;
bending small trees into bows
with a fresh set of winter’s clothes.
Just right for children to play
making angels where they lay,
men and women out of snow
and icy balls in which to throw
or to have joyful fun instead
by racing downhill on a sled
and then its back to their homes
for hot cocoa and buttered scones.
Snow can be a wonderful delight
as long as we don’t lose the sight
of the playful children in us all
as we age from Spring to Fall.

Lovely lines.
Thanks for the read. To wake up this morning to such a beautiful sight was the inspiration.
Yes, we must not lose that childlike nature that we all have in us.

lovely,
in UK, we had the warmest New Year's Day since records began..
but I'm hoping we may get a few drops of snow before Spring..
thanks for sharing
I sated my need
for a white festive season, vicariously
through your pic and write..
Happy New Year!
This is the first significant snowfall we have had in over three years. It was a welcomed sight. The day before the snowfall it was 65 F !! Strange weather. Hope you get some white.
