Snow Days Poem by Randy McClave

The children will not be out today
Because of the weather it is too cold
So, we will not hear them shout or play
Said Mom, and all people that are old.

Keep them in their houses nice and warm
We would hate to see the children freeze
And be careful in case of a winter storm
And of the snow and a freezing breeze.

It is just too cold to be out there playing
Let the children stay in their homes
The weather is bad my mom kept on saying
Let them not freeze up and become frozen gnomes.

To stay warm the children will need their coats
Boots and gloves they will also need to wear
And scarves wrapped around their tiny throats
They must stay warm if they are out there.

My mom sat down as the wind began to blow
And as she spoke she nearly bit her tongue
She wished she was out there making angles in the snow
The way she did when she was so very young.
