White Winter Wonderland

Theodoro (Theo) Onken

Oh, these white winter walks exhilarate

As does the crisp frost tipped air

Blown 'cross the mountain tops and vales

Light as a butterfly-snow flakes so fair;

'Tis the whitest of white times

Heralding in all the holidays best

Celebration 'cross the countryside and nearby vales

Pass the most perilous of slippery road test;

Out upon the sod-a snowman or two

With building of snowcastles supreme

Oh, those white winter walks encite exuberance

Hence giving credence to my white winter dream;

As glorious winter makes her snowy bed

And the invigorating air chills to the bone

I am ever thankfu for this white winter world

And for all of the past winters I have known.
