winter snow,
it is beautiful,
it is soft,

winter snow,
it is harsh,
it is unpredictable,

winter snow,
when it comes you never know,
bearing you in cold,

winter snow,
we see it as a blessing of a new year,
we see it as a curse to our daily planes,

winter snow,
we know spring is coming,
summer next,
followed by fall,
with another winter snow around the Ben,

winter snow,
we play in it,
we drive in it,
we walk in it,

winter snow,
there is happiness,
there is sadness,

winter snow,
with tears turn to ice,
ice to water,

winter snow,
grass underneath,
flowers sleeping,
animals in hibernation,

winter snow,
when will spring come again,
when will the sun shine,
where is the sparkling beauty
