My Virtual Winter Experience

Chocolate hills now blanketed by snow* Hinder crystals from their cascading flow As water falls freeze for a vibrant glow With wondrous icy displays of great show. Winter’s beauty is magnificent sight Since nature displays grandeur of pure white Elegantly covering greens, once bright Since heaven showers blessings of delight. Midst attacking coldness** that does assail Sparks of fireplace still serenely prevail Though chills cleave despite thick sweater and veil Fellowship’s love, grace and warmth never fail. *Job 37:6 For he (God) saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth… **I live in the Tropics where there is no Winter Season. However, my family resides in one of the coldest provinces of our country, and we wear thick jackets to combat coldness from December to February.
