The Comfort of Snow
By Victor Rook
Starts one day and goes all night
It fills my heart right from the start
With the peace it does impart
The air was crisp and cold and gray
Until you came and made your way
Upon the trees and streets and homes
And in the yards on little gnomes
If feels much different from the rain
Which makes us run inside in vain
To hide from wet we seek our cave
Yet when snow comes we feel so brave
To go outside and let it fall
Upon our tongues and over all
Like dancing in a happy powder
Where noises never get much louder
Than the smallest peep from a bird
Seems nothing else is really heard
For every thing goes very still
Sounds are mute within our thrill
The weather man calls it a storm
But I see joy outside the norm
Let if fall and coat the ground
And have us sense it all around
It slows us down as if to pause
Well beyond our day with Claus
It’s much more than a Yuletide favor
To me it is the soul and savior
Of a dreary time from fall to spring
When we never really see a thing
Except darkened skies and barren land
Where days can be so very bland
As sun shines off this snowy white
At times it can be very bright
Perhaps that’s why we feel a glow
The light reflects from down below
So don’t you moan or be uptight
When snow invades and gives you fright
Just seek the warmth inside each night
And everything will be all right
