On a snowy Christmas Day
Snowflakes fluttered in the sky,
It was an awesome blizzard,
Its beauty could make one sigh.

Snowflakes stuck while in the sky
Letters formed to spell your name:
They spelled ythe name, Mary Anne,
Pivoting in air they came.

Santa had still been nearby,
So he took us home by sleigh:
This time I will not forget,
On this snowy Christmas day.

It was a white wonderland,
Until you shone your smiles bright:
Your warm smiles had brought an end,
To cold to my heart's delight.
