The wonder of a winter night
As snowflakes touch the earth,
Is watching the fire glowing
As sparks hit upon the hearth ...

How nice to grab a book
And cuddle in a chair,
Glancing out frosted windows
Watching snow fly through the air ...

The stillness of the evening
The bright December moon,
Create a grand illusion
As these snowflakes hum a tune ...

They bring us great tranquility
As they slowly form a mound,
A powdery white illusion
As they gently hit the ground ...

How beautiful the moment
When all the earth is still,
Everywhere there's purity
On each and every hill ...

But morning brings excitement
As the kids fly from their bed,
Getting their winter play clothes
And grabbing the nearest sled ...

Suddenly the stillness
That filled the night before,
Is lost in another splendor
As the youngsters squeal for more ...

What a winter marvel
For all to now behold,
And the glory of this wonder
Is ours be young or old ...

Only God can create a snowflake
So beautiful and small,
But God provides all miracles
Whether winter, spring or fall ...
