Home on a Snow-day

Home on a snow-day is sock-feet and slippers

Stoking the fire and cloaking the air

With lyrics of laughter and hearth-side chatter

Clink of a spoon as it stirs steaming fare

Home on a snow-day is heaven-spun gladness

Hustle and bustle subsides for a while

Reveling in the reprieve from agendas

Home sports a warm, fuzzy, slow-me-down smile

Home on a snow-day is fair, feather-weather

A serenade of snowflake-colored stars

To a warm-sweater, hot soup, get-together

Read-a-book, dream-a-dream, strip cookie-jars

Snow-days spawn cheer akin to Christmas morning

Sweeter because nature flings its surprise

Over the world while we were soundly sleeping

Blanketing earth’s bird-watching paradise

Home on a snow-day is like a vacation

A dedication to simplicity

Home on a snow-day; winter’s invitation

To make the best of its soon-memory
