Winter Wonderland

Raindrops, God's tears for His creation,
When frozen, His jewels for decoration.
The hoare frost bedecks the trees,
A wonderland set in a frieze.
Driving out on  wintry nights,
Sparkling jewels caught in headlights.
A spiders web is on display,
White with frost that passed that way.
A watery sunrise fails to melt away,
The winter wonderland that is today.

For snowy days we would have to go up into The Troodos Mountains, but we don't so I rely on memories of UK. Hope your cold is gone by now. Thanks for commenting. God Bless. D.

Truly a "Winter Wonderland", Dave. This paints a lovely picture, God may have felt a slight loss when the unpredictable and moody Motther Nature had a change of plans. Keep well, Mikki
