Wrapped in Winter

Wrapped in Winter
The world was wrapped in winter
This tiny world called home ,
A blanket soft as cotton
As nature’s beauty shown ,
A touch of magic wonder
in snowflakes as they fell ,
And life held quiet beauty
That wintertime could tell .

The lane was wrapped in winter
Each tree wore ermine white ,
With fence posts capped in splendor
Within the dark of night ,

The pathway snug and cozy
Between the banks of snow ,
And stars shone down from heaven
Touched by the afterglow .

The earth was warm with winter
in peaceful , quiet bliss ,
Beneath snow’s magic blanket
A silent happiness ,
Within the arms of nature
All safe and glowing there ,
God wrapped His world in winter
Then left a sunbeam fair .
