First Snow

Snow drifting, falling to the ground Fire burning, family all around It's the time I've been dreaming of so long The first snow I walk outside, staring up in bliss Spin in circles, shriek at all I've missed It melts on contact, but I don't care The first snow Sparkling white Cold and clean Beautifully fresh Perfect, pristine I love the seasons Spring, summer, fall But winter's first snow Beats them all Soon we'll eat turkey and watch football Hang bright lights and deck the halls But for now I enjoy this sweet beginning The first snow We wash the dishes, let the fire die Get our coats and say good bye The day is done, but I never forget The first snows Sparkling white Cold and clean Beautifully fresh Perfect, pristine I love the seasons Spring, summer, fall But winter's first snow Beats them all
