Winter's Breath

Snow flakes fall softly
scattered all over the ground,
tiny footprints I see
outside my back door; all around.

They go around the trees
down my long driveway,
up to my front door
and where the swing gently sways.

Throughout my garden box
in my snow covered backyard,
footprints are all over the place
my gnomes are standing guard.

I see a small puff of air
from behind one of the trees,
the Fairies are out playing
I sure hope they don't freeze.

Evergreens are completely covered
in the fresh fallen snow,
Winter's breath is here again
flakes fall to and fro.
