The weatherman says, ‘snow today.’​

I don’t believe him anyway.​

But then I see a flake or two,​

Then three, then four, then quite a few!​

But will the snow stick to the ground? ​

Will it melt or stay around? ​

Is it a day for SNOW?​

​

I press my nose up to the glass—​

It’s sticking now to trees and grass!​

It coats the fence, the steps, the lane,​

It freezes on the weather vane. ​

And soon the world is soft and white,​

A sparkly sugar-icing sight.​

Today’s a day for SNOW!  ​

 ​

Time to layer all my clothes,​

Socks—two pairs—to warm my toes.​

Next, my mittens, left then right, ​

Then my coat zipped warm and tight.​

Next, my scarf wrapped up so snug,​

Last my snow boots—tug, tug, tug! ​

Now it’s time for SNOW!​

​

Swooshing, sledding down the hill—​

Not too fast or you will spill!​

Climb back up the other side,​

Ready for another ride.​

Wind is blowing on my cheeks,​

Haven’t had such fun in weeks.​

Oh, how I love SNOW!​

​

Sun is setting, shadows fall.​

I feel cold, and numb, and small.​

My feet are wet, they squish and squash​

Inside my boots they slish and slosh.​

I trudge towards home with frosty toes​

Icy fingers, dripping nose.​

What a day of SNOW!​

​

Waiting for a frozen me, ​

Bowl of soup and cup of tea,​

Yummy cookies, freshly made—​

Papa baked them while I played.​

Mama makes a chocolate drink​

With steam that turns my cheeks bright pink.​

Treats to eat with SNOW!​

Toasty now in my pajamas,​

Sit on Papa’s lap, then Mama’s, ​

Watching snowflakes gently falling,​

Listening to night birds calling.​

Tucked up safe and sound inside,​

Thinking of my sledding ride.​

A lovely day of SNOW!
