The First Snowfall
On the morning of Christmas
When not a single soul was in sight
Down the wooden stairs I crept
And to the Christmas tree I took flight
What I saw there
Was much to my delight
A rainbow of colour; presents in all shapes and sizes
I squealed and leaped with joy,
And drew the dark, red curtains
Oh my!
Could this be a dream?
There, lay a thick, untouched blanket of white
Like tiny pearls falling from the sky
Snow!
It covered the trees, the bushes, the houses
Glistening like crystal as the sun danced about it
I rushed to the door and out of the house
And stood there for a while
In my fluffy white slippers and pretty pink gown
Trying to take in the most dazzling sight
Freshly fallen snow
I began to sprint across the garden
Passing the snow-covered, red roses
Down the cobbled path
Skipping, hopping and jumping with delight
And I pranced to the meadow,
What a wonderful sight it was
Trees draped in white
And the smell of pine wafting
Through the sharp, yet refreshing winter air
Waltzing through the meadow
Singing, oh so merrily
Without a care in the world
I soon collapsed in a heap
Lying on the vast, pale sheet of snow
And the world stood still for a minute
I wished that it would last forever
That one spectacular moment in time
The First Snowfall
