A Snowy Walk

Thick, heavy snow has come down overnight, The streets and the houses are coated in white. I’m slipping and sliding, I can’t stay upright – But the streets are a beautiful sight!

My walk is a struggle, I wish I had skis;

It’s deeper in places, right up to my knees!

I’ll catch a chill, surely, I’m starting to sneeze – But the streets are a beautiful sight!

I can’t feel my fingers, my toes or my cheeks, I feel like my feet have been frozen for weeks. It’s drifted and settled in mountainous peaks, But the streets are a beautiful sight!

And though I now feel like I’ll never be warm,

The world looks so sparkly after the storm.

There’s nothing the wonder of snow won’t transform – Oh, it’s all such a beautiful sight!
