Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Christmas Morning Snow

Christmas Morning Snow  

Watching the dancing flames in the fireplace grow   

Outside the majestic harmony of the cascading snow 

As winter wraps earth's canvas in a sparkling white 

Nature gifts such beauty for everyone's delight 

  

So nice the warm feeling of the fire's glowing heat 

Happily sitting here while warming bare naked feet 

Clock strikes midnight the snow is still floating down 

Wrapping everything brilliantly white in this sleepy old town 

                                                                   

Children wake early to embrace nature's newly given toy 

Nature's present, this Christmas day to each little girl and boy 

Racing outside laughing, stumbling and falling all about 

Playing, snowball fighting in the cold, never seeming to tire out

Robert Pettit May 7, 2014 at 11:16 PM The winter in my area was too long with too much snow. Reading this very descriptive poem was enough to make me feel colder. Robert Lindley May 8, 2014 at 12:29 AM I HOPE NOT SAD TOO! I feel for those that have to endure winter's wrath. Here in the South we miss most of that calamity. A wintry snow at Christmas time here is a blessing for the children for the love it!

Poet Destroyer A May 7, 2014 at 10:33 PM Robert, it is a wonderful warm feeling. I love every line. It is delightful, as you said it would be... God Bless....Linda Robert Lindley May 7, 2014 at 10:49 PM Thanks, I passed over this one a few dozen times rejecting posting it here! Then tonight my son got out a toy he got last Christmas and had such delight playing with it . I thought of this one again and decided to present it. The appreciation expressed makes my glad I did!
