FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW

 

As a child – wisdom I didn’t know

Looking out a window watching it snow –

 

Dreams of a child – I wanted it all –

Watching shadows dancing on the wall,

 

Seeing the snow hanging on every tree,

Snowing so hard the old barn I can’t see!

 

As a child – I had no one to blame,

Every day they all seemed the same –

 

The best part – off to school we didn’t go

I remember praying that it would snow –

 

Dried corn stalks standing in the field

Knowing their fruit they’ll no longer yield –

 

When winter comes – the rabbits know

Just look at their footprints in the snow!
