Snowflakes are gently falling again
And the outside looks so beautiful
Pretty soon, I'll have to shovel the walk
Because I've always been so dutiful
Redbirds so colorful against the snow
Crystal icicles forming on the trees
People rushing to make it home
As the wind kicks up a cold breeze
Fuzzy little animals scurrying to and fro
Frantically looking for something to eat
Quickly burrowing in hidden places
For a warm, dry and cozy retreat
Lighting a match to the logs in the fireplace
Sipping tea and trying to keep from freezing
Snuggling in my rocker and my old Afghan
The snow and ice outside increasing
Twilight is falling and all is serene
Fluffy blankets covering all the yards
But I like snow much better when it falls
On televisions and on Christmas cards
