It's Never Too LateSnow at Christmas Time

Snow at Christmas Time Snow at Christmas time just ends the season right Looking out the window is just a wonderful sight The Christmas tree stretches up to its greatest height And a fire in the hearth, adds warmth throughout the night Outside, the snow flakes trickle their way down Trying to find a resting place, somewhere in town They bring a smile to ones face, while ridding a frown And magically clings on, like a glowing gown One must watch in silence, what is happening outside Pull the children around you, with their eyes opened wide Looking up toward the heavens for Santa’s sleigh ride Hoping he is bringing presents to where they abide Nearly everything is perfect at this time of the year Yet remembering friends who passed on with a tear They come into our thoughts without bringing a fear And a smile and a prayer to those we hold dear The blanket of white is now spread all around Anyone out there is mostly homebound Love is everywhere just waiting to be found Like the snow it has arrived without making a sound.
