Wonders of Winter

Look up! Snowflakes appear in streetlights Hear children cheer as snow days are announced Watch the powder fly during snowball fights Listen as faith through joyful hymns is pronounced Join snow angel brigades while on wintery landscapes we pounce Walk briskly with me through the winter woods Where boughs of evergreens droop with white frost Don your boots and pull up your jacket hood Let’s slide on the lake until our energies exhaust Then trudge back home as snow drifts are crossed Place damp clothes on a chair by the fireside Pour a glass of wine and snuggle with me Whispers of passion, ‘neath a blanket confide Lights from the fir tree fill our hearts with glee As you offer me your ring on bended knee
