Snow Clouds for Children on a January Dawn

 

There could be snow later, and that would be nice

Children can grow up here and never see snow

Today they might go out and play in it

While we old folks tut-tut, “You’ll catch your death…”

 

But they are asleep, the snow is asleep

Only the rain is awake, drip, drip, drip

Making last summer’s leaves speak one last time

As they crumble into their winter sleep

 

There could be snow later, and that would be nice

For the children: a happy new year twice
