Snow is a wonderful thing,<\/p>\n
it makes the little children sing,<\/p>\n
and falls from the heavens, like a gift from above,<\/p>\n
snow can never be an imperfect love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They say there can never be two alike,<\/p>\n
as streaks of light mercilessly strike,<\/p>\n
barren earth, under white duvets,<\/p>\n
peeking from holes in wool pockets.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Snow, hail and sleet,<\/p>\n
two unwanted but in packaged deceit,<\/p>\n
and each year, a renewed debut,<\/p>\n
and far beyond a mixed adieu.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And if I were the last to feel Frost’s graze,<\/p>\n
and live in the heart of Old Man Winter’s maze,<\/p>\n
I would spend the days of last,<\/p>\n
praying for a snow’s weather forecast.<\/p>\n
