Snow on February 24th

And God said

Let me help you sleep in warmth
and the snow blanketed the ground

Let me give the bare, dull branches a beautiful new set of clothes
and the snow dressed the trees

Let me rest your tired ears
and the lacey quiet descended

Let me delight the eyes
and the white wonderland appeared

Let me show you joy
and children romped

Let me feed the rivers, the seeds, roots, all creatures
and the snow melted

Let me play again
and the world awoke
