Snow
It is snowing here! For those of you joining us recently, you may not know this about me, but I absolutely love snow. I grew up in the midwest, and have been relocated for the past few years in the South, where I endure the weather most of the year... and it never snows quite enough for me. So, when we do get snow, the excitement around our house is just ridiculous!
Thought I'd share a little poem that popped into my head this morning as I watched the snow coming down... and it continues to come down, which just makes me incredibly happy. Sometimes, the words just come, like a gift from God. Kind of like the snow itself...
SNOW
Flittering flakes flurry down
A blanket of whiteness covers the ground
The world softens, deepens in snow
Quiet reigns, quietly go
Boots crunch, breath steams
Skies darken, a child dreams
Crystals coming down to earth
Season of death before rebirth
Shouts of laughter, snowballs fly
Angels flutter from the sky
Whispering wind whips at your nose
Hot cocoa warms you to your toes.
