While I was sleeping
it snowed through the night.
I rose in the morning
to a blanket of white.
It sparkled and glistened
as it lay there so pure.
Planning to stay awhile
as it rested secure.
Not a sound was made
as it gracefully came down.
Covering rooftops of houses
and every building in town.
Silently from the sky
in the starlight it fell.
Being welcomed by earth
and given Heaven's farewell.
