Snow

By LinnieJane Burks

Snowflakes swirling earthward,
     Spin down silently;
Yet they weave a magic
     For the world to see.

Millions gravely labor,
     As day follows day,
Lives of men to brighten
     Cleanness to display

Yet, in half an hour,
     See, our world can be---
Tucked in with a blanket
     Of shining purity!
