Snow Place Like Home

Snowflakes slap at my window pane, They're soft yet strong just the same. The ice and winds attempt to get in, snowflakes blow harder-determined to win. I rather enjoy this beautiful dance, The frozen show puts me into a trance. The fire inside it keeps me warm, The storm from outside can do me no harm. But suddenly I desire to feel the cold, I want to be outside to play in the snow. To be a child from long ago, Then I realize I'm much too old. So my window and I watch it blow, And feel the warmth of the fires glow. Suddenly the winds begin to slow, The moon puts to sleep the beautiful snow.
