A Winters Night

As the Snow falls gently on the ground

Making nary a single sound

Its white blanket lightly covering all

With its luminous effect, through it all

Street lights with their gentle hue

Amongst the Snowflakes shining through

Reminds me of when was a kid

As along the roads we would diligently skid

Making slides paths in the snow

My God, you should have seen us go

Sometimes we would fall upon our tums

Next time maybe on our bums

But what joy, what fun we had back then

Now you can hardly remember when

We had Snow as thick as this is laying

Or of the times we would be playing

Because today with all this global warming kicking in

You hardly know that Snow has been

So today we will make the most of what God has sent

Down to earth so we might repent

All our sins, all our misdeeds

As the Snow fall covers all the plants and seeds

The birds safely tucked up nicely in their nest

But the Robin with his bright red breast

Still scours the garden looking for food we might put out

So remember this whilst playing out and about

That their, are others who may need help to survive

To last out the Snow, just stay alive

So be vigilant whilst you are out at play

We all want to look forward to another day

So enjoy the Snow whilst it is here

For tomorrow it may be gone, all will be clear

Nature makes such a wonderful sight

At times at either day or night

The nightly creatures always roam about

Looking for food that we may leave out

A Badger roams silently ever alert

If you bump into him he can be curt

A solitary animal at the best of times

Just leave him be he commits no crimes

As the Foxes make their noises, such a racket

Their coat shines out like a bright red jacket

They all suffer when the snow arrives

It can make such an impact on all our lives

But it’s nice to be tucked safely in bed

As the Snow falls outside I can lay my head

Cuddled up warmly under a nice thick duvet

So it’s goodnight to everyone what more can one say.
