Snow falls, blows, in
white eddies across the street,

and gloves, joyfully humming songs of joy, peace
and love.
children shed their wet clothes
and boots after playing on the
slippery frozen pond, then

get out of the cold,
to receive hugs and kisses
like they were getting presents at
chistmas.
the season where people dream
about white Christmases
with fluffy snow that falls softly to the
ground.
as children throw round snowballs
and families play and sing songs around the piano

window that night.
when the children wake, rubbing their
little eyes, and see the brightly

their family that came from far
to gather with wishes, dreams and hopes
for the coming new year
then the children
go to frolic and play with all of their new treasures they
received
at this time of year,
on this wintery Christmas day |
