When Summer Came To Winter
December came; a little snow was on
the ground a while, but then it never fell
again! It was so strange, for on my lawn
was Santa Claus, not looking very well
there with his lit up reindeer and the sleigh.
But rain came down. It wasn’t even cold!
It washed all trace of any snow away.
The sun peeked down and spilled its honey gold
onto the fields and city streets below.
My decorations looked so out of place.
Without the snow, they lacked that special glow!
Yet there was not a frown upon my face.
It felt like California – and so warm
I didn’t mind it lacked a Christmas charm!
Written Aug. 27, 2017 True story! I think it was in the late 1990’s this occurred.
