Winter's Wonder Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-WINTER'S WONDER-


A beautiful white lacy morning
With cottony puffs upon the trees
A softness muffling all the sounds
No slight hint of gentle breeze.

Those piles of puffy whiteness
Lay upon the ground
Still the tiny frosty flakes
Are flying all around.

Now everything is covered
With this fluffy winter blanket
Our sleighs are fancied up
To take out on a junket.

The horses hitched and waiting
Prancing 'ore the snow
Snorting, Oh so playfully,
As they put on their fancy show.

The family snuggled under
Giant bearskin warm and snug
Then later they're back home again
With hot chocolate in a mug.

The Winter's were so gracious
Back in my Grammaw's day
When the horse's were put to stable
Given warm water with their hay.

Those days are gone forever
As we get into our four wheel drives
As we've traded in those romantic days
For our 21st Century lives.

But we still have the stories
Of a slower, quieter time,
Of memories of my Grammaw's day
When she heard the sleighbell's chime.
