The first snow of the season
Winter rises and autumn fades
Grey clouds release their bounty
And to the ground it cascades
Delicate lacy white snowflakes
Falling gently through the air
Weave a fluffy white blanket
Covering the Earth everywhere
Birds huddling in their shelters
Against the harsh winter winds
Furry animals are tunneling
Underground till it ends
Long crystal clear icicles
Forming solidly in the trees
The temperature goes below zero
Causing the duck pond to freeze
Curling up by the fireplace
Sipping cocoa from a mug
Snuggled in the old Afghan
Cold feet burrowed in the rug
Ice freezing on the windows
And everything is so still
It's a glorious wonderland
Created by God's will
