The First Snow


One waits for the first snow
a blanket of pure white
brings thoughts of youthful days
promise is a delight

Happy times snowballs fly
chilly fun in the air 
snowman has a cold smile
eyes of coal is his stare

Long ago memories
come in our sleepy dreams
as we age stays with us
youth remains so it seems

One waits for the first snow
will come now very soon
it's fluffy and pure white
no more a wintry gloom
