frozen frosted fingertips
cold and chapped blue-tinged lips
rosy cheeks and cherry noses
little men striking frozen poses
fragile flakes and glittering ice
in a winter-wonder paradise
earth-bound angels lined in a row
sparkling diamonds in crusted snow
children shriek in awed delight
in a world all painted in white
with snow-forts and snow-fights
hot cocoa and marshmallow nights
times we treasured gone too fast
time we share now that won't last
under blankets or snug in bed
thoughts of icicles in young heads
visions of angels trapped in snow
as off to sleep and dream we go
