A Winter’s Eve

Have you ever noticed the smell of a winter’s eve
The glimmer in a child’s eye when they see their first snow
Or the way firelight dances across the room
Keeping everyone warm from old man winter

The light glistens off the snow as the sun peeks over the horizon
Icicles adorn the snow-capped houses
Snow covers the ground like a blanket
Only to greet us in the morning with a frosty kiss

As the smoke billows out and dances across the sky the fire below keeps us warm
And when the sun slumbers we are nestled in our blankets with hot chocolate in hand
Trying to escape the old man and  his bitter cold breath
With those we care about close by, and the warmth we share

This is my winter’s eve
