| WINTER FALLS |
| Silence blankets us as winter falls The quiet calms us with the snow Dancing flakes enchant us all On sloping hills our sleds will go Footsteps crunch on icecold days Chickadees peep their friendly song Skies are painted in a gray haze Snuggling during nights so long Trees stand guard in forests deep Fence posts wearing caps of white Animals settle for winter's sleep Sun sparkling on diamonds bright Smoke curling from chimney tops Branches iced like frosted cakes Rosey cheeks color playful tots Clouds dance when the day breaks Warm glows from houses sleeping We bundle up for strong wind Cherished memories we are keeping As winter falls on us again |
