Snow

A blanket of white covers the ground
clinging to streetlights and buildings
falling from rooftops and trees
landing on people's heads and feet.

Now the tiny white crystals
are coming down once again
children laughing and playing
adults watching and shoveling.

Snowmen popping up everywhere
sleds and tubes racing to and fro
everyone in a jolly mood
wishes for more snow in the air.

We're in a winter wonderland,
with hopes that the holidays
will finally be here.
