Blanket of Snow

Blanket of snow.... Outside the air is crisp and clean The tress are pristine white and a blanket of snow covered the lawn. In the distance the sounds of machines They're plowing the roads before night. Inside we sit snuggled together Sipping hot cocoa with marshmallows While enjoying the warmth of the fire Knowing this is just the beginning of winter We still have a long time to go. There will be days of fun ahead of catching snowflakes on the tongue and seeing the frost form on the glass of sliding down hill with the sleds. snowmen to make, and carols to be sung.
