a quatern of questions
A chapter in the book Quaterns: Observations on Life
Who Puts the Sparkle in the Snow?
by adewpearl
Who puts the sparkle in the snow and paints it bright with iv'ry sheen? Who took one seed and made it grow into a tow'ring evergreen? As flakes reflect the noonday light, who puts the sparkle in the snow, and as each day turns into night, who flicks the switch that dims the glow? When mighty stag and graceful doe through great drifts trudge, no longer fleet, who puts the sparkle in the snow as they refuse to meet defeat? As spring awaits its chance to break the ice now blocking river's flow, I ask as blossoms soon will wake, who puts the sparkle in the snow? |
