Snow Blanket

It’s snowing now, tonight,

snow silently falling down,

making a white snow blanket

to cover the frozen ground.

Out of the dark, snow comes

sparkling in the street light.

This quiet, wintry storm

is beautiful to my sight,

though I’m thankful to be warm

inside the house tonight

watching snow slowly form

that blanket, cold and white.
