Snow Is Just the Icing on the Cake

Alpha List Season's Greetings Poems About This Site Poems for Free Copyright by Nicholas Gordon

Snow is just the icing on the cake. Even as the Earth begins to warm, And we reduce our footprints for its sake, So will light from dark again be born. Old customs, rooted deeply in the heart, Now live on as atmospheric joy. 'Mid pines or palms, mince pie or mango tart, Seasonal displays our spirits buoy. Greetings, then, and hopes for the new year, Regardless of the temperature outside! Each gift of time is cause enough for cheer; Each moment yet unlived a blushing bride. Though the world be dark and warming fast, In season's joy is something that will last. Nor will we soon forget to celebrate Grace so bountiful or gifts so great, Sensing well the fortune of our fate. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
