Yet another snowy day! I think we are all really getting tired of winter, but there is beauty in the cold and snow. Here is one of Mom’s poems and some of my photos from this winter.
Winter Snow
I sit gazing out my window on a cold and wintry day
The vivid autumn colors now replaced by shades of gray
The rain is beginning and it’s starting now to freeze
A coat of ice is covering the deck, the yard, the trees
This world looks so beautiful as if encased in glass
The scene has turned to crystal, each limb, each blade of grass
The snow begins falling and coats the world in white
Trees cradling these fluffy clouds, what a lovely sight
Boughs are now so heavy; they’re bending to the ground
The world now is silent as the snow comes drifting down
God’s turned the gray of winter into a land pristine and new
Only He could paint a scene with such a lovely view
