Today was a special day in the south
Outside, snow blanketed the ground
Changing the landscape dramatically.

A wide smile spread across my face
Snow! Not just a dusting but a blanket.
In one swift move I was down the stairs
And approaching the door.

Outside, the icy snow crunched underneath my boots.
It was unspeakably cold, but I didn't care,
I made snowmen, snow angels and had a snowball fight.
With the excess snow I built a fort and pounded
My neighbor with snowballs
Until he gave in and yelled "Quit it!"

Soon the snow melted,
Leaving nothing but
Memories and wishes for the next snowfall.
