Winter Silence

The rich, green life of Summer

Has now been put to rest,

Trees have lost their foliage

And birds expose their nest.

The river that sang sweet music

Now flows softly and slow,

For Winter has made an entrance

And has ushered in ice and snow.

Cedar and pine boughs are covered

With ruffles of snowy white lace.

Bright red berries are enchanting

And are scattered all over the place.

Children all gather to sleigh ride

And are filled with laughter and glee.

The Winter scenery is breathtaking

And is truly a blessing to see.

The fire's red embers are glowing,

Spreading a cozy warmth everywhere.

Let us enjoy the days of Winter

And its beauty that's all too rare.

~ Shirley Hile Powell

Ice and snow, bless the Lord;

praise Him above all forever.

Daniel 3:70
