Snow Place Like Home

Snowflakes slap at my window pane, They're soft yet strong just the same. Ice and winds attempt to get in, The snowflakes blow harder-determined to win. I rather enjoy this beautiful dance, The frozen delight puts me in a trance. The fire inside it keeps me warm, The storm from outside can do me no harm. But suddenly I desire to feel the cold, To go outside and play in the snow. To be a child from long ago, Then I realize I'm much too old. So I sit by my window and watch it blow, And feel the warmth of the fires glow. Suddenly the winds begin to slow, The night puts to sleep the beautiful snow.
