First Snow
The new snow of the season is always special
Pin-drop silence on a wintry night
Enough a sign of snowfall in sight
By the morning the snowflakes cover the earth
The first snow of the season brings joy and mirth
Painting the trees and roofs with nature’s white brush
Everything looks new, lovely, and fresh
Shimmering icicles are an added joy
For children, they are nature’s toy
And the sun comes out with a happy face
Showering us with warm rays
From my window, I see snow and sun in one frame
Covering the earth in their drapes
Everyone is bundled up and cheerful, the mood is sweet
Sipping my steaming coffee, I enjoy the scene
To walk on fresh powder, people come out in droves
Some are eager to hit and schuss the slopes
Shoveling snow is fun and a chore
Snowman and snowfall fights in store
A new hope, a happy tiding, and my heart glows
White and gold this painting rolls
Note: I’ve seen snow in my childhood and growing up years. There has always been excitement about the first snow of the season. It spreads joy, love, and hope. Now, I don’t get to see much of it, but I can recall those days of fun and laughter.
