Tiny snowflakes falling down

Rush to coat our little town

Hear snow shovels in driveway

Neighbor's kindness makes my day

Gray squirrel leaps along fence row

Up above caws of black crow

Cars in driveway, quiet street

Town moves at a slower beat

Snow has changed to large white flakes

Drifting down on frozen lake

Hear loud crack in sheet of ice

Lake releases icy vise

Folks are nestled in their homes

Daylight fades in winter gloam

Smoke curls from brick chimney tops

Fire blazes as wood pops
