Snow As I Grow

I sit in my room and I watch the snow fall to the ground
I’m inside looking out, safe and sound
I watch the snow flakes as they fall
Wishing I could go outside and touch them all
I stay inside because it’s too cold
I want to go build a snowman but I feel too old
I miss the days of snow ball fights
But I think I’ll stay inside, I’ll be alright.

I go out to shovel the sidewalk and driveway
All that time wishing I could just play
I want to compound the snow into little balls
And throw it at things and watch them fall
I want to run with friends, and sled and ski
I want to be young again, I want to be free.

Snow on tree branches and covering cars
Falling down like shining stars
The sight of snow is fresh and clean,
Reminding me of a Winter Wonderland scene.
Fresh snow is a beautiful sight
Like a soft white cloud or a radiant light.

Winter is the best time of year
Christmas movies on t.v bringing out cheer
But, nothing can replace the delight of a winter night
Hanging with friends in the midst of a snow ball fight
The years of being young were oh so great
I wish I could go back in time and date

I might be too old to play and run
But watching the snow fall is just as fun
I observe from my couch and from my bed,
I watch the snow fall on top of my head.
I watch, I listen, I taste, I feel
The snow is so alive and so real.
