Let It Snow

My mother had written in a letter that the snow hides the ugliness of the City I mulled over in my mind the many ways that this is true Children having a snowball fight Snow falling at times very hard that things in front of me were out of sight Forts and igloos were being built children sleigh riding without any guilt As the snow fell on the bare branches and limbs on trees on the fences and roof tops children running with glee A snowman rolled and lifted all three Coals for eyes a carrot as a nose a scarf around the neck twigs for the arms Some held out their tongue to catch a snowflake or two After while we noticed the cold in the house we went for a bowl of soup Once we were warm on again our coats, scarfs and boots went we would sing Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow Falling backwards into the snow making snow Angels trying to make the best one Mine is better than yours no one was sore but we wanted an adult to keep the score Our arms and legs going in and out faster harder than the ones laying next to me Jumping up we grab our sleds looking for the biggest hill we fled We were not sure of much however there is one thing we will surely know we wanted God to command it to always snow Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow
