What is snow?
Beautiful shaped crystals of frozen moisture.
No two are alike and melt quickly in your hand,
But falling from the sky by thousands side-by-side,
They lay a complex pattern of frosty white across the land.
What is snow?
A wintery wonderland of fairy tale shapes and forms.
A season of snow flakes softly falling or raging storms.
What is snow?
Why, it’s God’s way of cleaning this tired old earth.
And at winter’s end, spring can bring about a new rebirth.
Englewood, Colorado December 19 1989
