The First Fall

There is nothing quite as beautiful as the first fall of snow.

Freezing, glimmering crystals adorn the ground in a white gown.

Outside it is cold and windy. Inside there is warmth and cheer.

How wonderfully exciting is the start of this time of year.

Not even the chattering teeth or the dry cracked hands

Can take away from the loving that winter demands.

The frigid air of the winter does not describe it all.

Something burning and bright with the snow will fall.
