A Christmas Snow

Quietly falls the pure whitened snow

Transforming all by lantern glow

Each roof, gate and meandering lane

Matchless beauty makes all the same

Muffled carollers by lamplight

Raise mellow voices in the night

As evening dusk descends around

Bright coloured fairy lights abound

The deepening snow settles in drifts

Makes Christmas Eve with special gifts

As multiple stars shine above

Friends and families join in love

Venturing out expresses a thrill

With mounting snow on window sill

Then frosty air breath exposes

Steaming laughs and shiny noses.

Thank you John for reading and for your grateful words of support. I too remember being just as eager to be the first to tread on first snowfall. xx
