Watching snowflakes silently falling, <br />Children find extremely enthralling. <br />They stand with mouths open in awe, <br />As, though the air, snowflakes soar. <br /> <br />When children first see snow outside, <br />Their excitement, they just cannot hide. <br />Through the air, the snowflakes swirl, <br />Delighting every little boy and girl. <br /> <br />They put on their coats and their scarves, <br />And the air is filled with joyous laughs. <br />Their pink, rosy cheeks are all aglow, <br />As they fashion men made of snow. <br /> <br />They love the way that the snow glints, <br />And love making trails of fresh footprints. <br />Despite snow being so wet and cold, <br />Handfuls of it, they just love to hold. <br /> <br />On a sledge, they slide down a hill. <br />They never seem to mind the chill. <br />Many children find much delight <br />In taking part in a snowball fight. <br /> <br />The cold chills their fingers and toes; <br />It chills their ears and their nose. <br />Freezing conditions, they happily bear, <br />And they all play on, without a care.<br /><br />Angela Wybrow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/playing-in-the-snow-2/
