Wake up to the glorious Winter Wonderland!
See how the majestic trees carry their regal, white robes.
See how the lamp post is tipped with frosting,
Looking like a Christmas card.
Feast your wondering eyes on the mystical.
Magical, sparkling mantle transforming the
Mundane into Fantasyland of awesome beauty.
The cardinal’s red flame is perfectly set off against fluff, white background.
The sun sparkles on every branch, twinkling in Rhythm with the breeze.
The soul soars at the sight of this magnificent grandeur,
And my heart gives thanks to Mother Nature.
And I’m sure God smiles at this special Creation,
And fills our hearts with appreciation and gratitude.
