Snow

When the snow lies deep upon the meadow
Hardly a sound is heard in the frosty breeze
Tonight the children will have a big campfire
If this weather keeps up the lake will freeze

Roasting marshmallows by a big fire is fun
 Hot chocolate tonight will really hit the spot
Sleigh riding down the hill brings us much joy
Crashing into a tall snow bank really does not

When we were children we loved these nights
Today these old bones cannot stand the cold
When the weather gets much below Seventy
I really bundle up and I don't have to be told

Do you suppose God made the cold for children
Where they could play in the snow all day long
They never seem to get cold like us old folks do
So kids have fun while you are young and strong
