I don’t care how old you are 
Or whether you’re lonely or sad
That first fall of the white stuff
Makes even the miserable buggers glad 😀 


We open the curtains in hope
that it’s fallen through the night
It’s just something so special
Seeing a carpet laid of white


first it’s feathery flakes before,
the real Ones start falling ❄️
Your inner childhood memories
have awakened and are calling


You have to go outside
and join in all the fun 🤩 
Though snowmen and snow angels ⛄️
really aren’t for everyone 


Some sit by the window quietly
and take in the wintery view 
It’s the same snowy picture 
On the card I sent to you


Yes, we love summer
With its warm golden rays 
But there’s nothing like a blizzard 🌨 
a snow globe - until it lays


So, keep watching that sky
For that grey and creamy hue 
And hope it dumps a load on us
As it’s long been overdue!
