Winter Magic

WINTER MAGIC The first snowfall came unannounced A beautiful blanket of white Covered the grass now winter browned And, oh, what a lovely sight It clung to the tree limbs of a giant cedar And I watched in anticipation To me, there's nothing neater Than the unfolding of God's creation The dazzling beauty of each tiny flake And knowing no two are the same Made me wonder how God could make Something so small glorify His Name Yet He, in all His splendor Was able to create A scene so beautifully tender And show the world how great His imagery lays before us So magnificent and so grand And how He holds the universe In the hollow of His hand As you reflect on this picture of winter And the marvelous joy it gives Give thanks and praise to the sender Be glad that our God lives

Roy, I know from experience that making amends is often difficult, but necessary. I sincerely apologize for this late response, but this poem was 'lost' in my computer until yesterday. My daughter retrieved it and some others as well. Now, I can properly thank you for your support. Sincerely, Curtis

Thanks again, Mandy for this response. Cyberspace will devour things and one may think it's gone forever but my daughter was able to make cyberspace regurgitate this winning poem for me.
