Poem

Kids are excited to wake up and discover there's no school, it's a snow day
They look out the window and see a beautiful blanket of white, but it's not outside they wish to play
They want to stay glued to television or with their head buried in a video game
When did playing outside apparently in their words become so incredibly lame?
We live in a society filled with too many gosh darn electronics 
Kids are walking with heads down zoned into phones or tablets acting more and more robotic
We need to get them outside and show them how we did it back in our day
Show them how much fun it can be to play king of the mountain on a snow covered stack of bails of hay
The thought of them laying around in bed wasting the day away drowning us out with headphones  is too much to bare 
Whatever happened to making a snowman or snow angel without a single care?
There's too much beauty within each snowflake to stay inside behind a closed door
Get your kids out in nature and show them all there is to explore 
Take them skiing, sledding, snowboarding,ice fishing, or have a snowball fight 
Whatever you choose to do just help them view winter and nature in a whole new light
If it's still too cold to go outside even after bundling up in layers then perhaps read them a story 
Make some art and craft projects or play a card or board game in all of their glory 
Life depends entirely too much on electronics and for our children's futures I worry 
We need to take the time to show them there's so much more to life and as far as growing up not to be in such a hurry
Snow days aren't what they once were, that's for sure without a doubt
We need to remind ourselves and our kids what a snow day should really be about
