First Snow

With much anticipation I pulled up the shade,

Hoping to see what Old Man Winter had made.

 

I heard last night he was coming to town,

Sometimes he is clever at letting me down.

 

The weather man said look out for snow!

Trust his word for it, I just don't know.

 

I've waited so long to see him outside,

Maybe a snowman, or a big sleigh ride,

 

I see he's been here, and as the winds blow

Old Man Winter left our First Snow!
