Upon awakening today
my eyes were filled with great delight.
They met the most divine display —
a world painted milky white.
It was a cozy quilt of snow
which piled up in banks head high
and still more came. It fell so slow
there seemed a limitless supply.
A couple hurried down the lane,
a squirrel darted up a tree,
and what before had seemed mundane
I gazed at now adoringly.
