Falling Snow
I think that I shall never
know
A sight as nice as falling
snow.
When Cod allows His trees
to rest.
And winter winds are at
their crest;
When leaves all curled and
crisp and brown
Fall to rest upon the groun’;
Then I know there soon will
be
Some falling snow for me to
see.
The first few flakes come
slowly down.
Drifting, shifting, twirling
round and roun*;
Falling first, then turn
about.
Rise awhile and angle out;
Finally floating to the earth
Are swallowed up soon
after birth.
Smaller now the flakes are
growing.
Yes— yes— it’s really started
snowing;
Steadier, steadier— with
greater speed.
No forces now will dare
impede
The tailing, piling, drifting
mass.
Which no sight on earth
could e'er surpass!
Morning dawns— a great
new births’ revealed
All earthly sights are now
concealed—
Clothed in robes of velvet
white,
One giant mass is does
unite.
What earthly joy would you
suggest
Could put this to the
slightest test?
I think that I shall never
know
A sight as nice as falling
snow.

Laugh at the birds.
Laugh at the weather.
Laugh at the clown who’s
losing his pants.
Laugh, and soon you'll be
snappy happy.

W hen I laugh, I giggle and
wiggle
I giggle and wiggle when I
laugh.
I don't laugh like a
grown-up lady
with a ’’ Ha. ha. haaa "
I don't laugh like a little girl
with a "H e . he. he."
I laugh like me.

Christmas is almost
Here. People
flushing around looking for
the right gift
/n the middle of the winter.
Sweet smelling food in
The house. Because Christ
was born on this day.

Going from flower to tree

Christmas
I think that Christmas is a
warm home that
is full of Christmas
things.. . .
Sparkling Fires,
Hot cocoa with
marshmallows.
Good smelling pies cooking
in the oven,
Christmas trees that are
green,
Holly that is prickly.

Oh W iggly Worm
Oh wiggly worm, oh wiggly
worm, who do
you wiggle so? You don't
have any legs
and not much o f a head. So
why do you
wiggle so? You're so long
and round so
close to the ground. So why
do you wiggle
sO1
So that's why you wiggle
so?! A bird will
find you and you must run.
So that's why
you wiggle so.

Soon all things begin to
grow
W ith added lasers of new
snow;
And light reflecting trom its
face
Turns night to das and sin
to grace
W hat better sight could ever
he
Than falling snow for me to
What nicer joy would sou
entreai
Than crunching snow
beneath the feet'*
W hen bedtime comes and
lights are out.
I raise ms shade to look
about —
To see the heasen’s lleecs
lining
( uniing still —yes still
declining
I he street lamp's pale and
mellow light
Illumes the most
spectacular sight
( ft sott pure flakes ot
glistening snow.
