The Melody of Christmas

Snowflakes drift like notes of a song...
Softly, gently, moving along.
Coming each with a wish of good cheer...
Hope for the dawning new-year.

The wind ebbs and the flurries die,
But too soon another stirs up the sky.
Beyond the frosty trees and homes,
A threesome of jolly carolers roam.

I silently gaze at the wonder around,
Knowing that no greater is found.
It comforts the cold and tickles the air,
Snow – gentle snow everywhere.

Then, as these soft moments do fold;
This heartwarming holiday glows in the cold.
And, for the fear of it passing away,
Merry Christmas to all; have joy on this day.
