I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” – Lewis Carroll

WINTER WONDROUS WARMTH
Twas such a wondrous time of sleep
Earth her blankets, white in heap
And when the night encroached on day
There lay he asleep, warm in the hay

Twas songs of angels, with riotous joy
Told everyone of, this darling little boy
Wise Kings three, and shepherds, went there
To wish him welcome, from far and from near.

    Very sweet and warming for those who draw warmth from the tale of the babe in the manger.

      Magaly, its interesting you read 'Earth' as a verb. My intention was noun. But this is all good as it lend another dimension and lots of interest to the writer reader rapport.

      much love...

    What a tender poem - you remind us of the softer and brighter side of winter.. snow is lovely when its fresh and downy and we are the first to walk through it in the morning
