White Christmas

The winds were crisp on Christmas day
 And the skies were all wrapped up in gray
Children unwrapped their presents with eyes all aglow
 As the skies above presented us with snow

As snowflakes fell softly to the ground
It reminded many of that old Christmas song
Where dreams of a white Christmas abound
 As the snow fell all day long

Swirling snowflakes gave the day a certain charm
   While by the fireplace we kept warm
 Then the snow tapered off that night
 Glistening in the colorful Christmas lights

Hoping that all your presents were just right
 That peace and love was your discovery
In this season of joy and delight
And that all your Christmases are merry
                                    ---
