Waiting for snow on christmas

I’m waiting and waiting.

Waiting for the snow

that just has to fall on christmas.

I wait for the ground to turn white like a sheet of paper,

and wait for the blizzard that will turn the grass and the trees white.

I also wait for the intricate snowflakes,

each one having it’s own unique shape.

I’ll stare out the window all day if I have to.

I refuse to open my presents.

I refuse to eat anything.

WANT

SNOW!

I look up at the sky hoping that there is a chance,

ANY chance there will be snow.

Then I see it.

A snowflake!

After a few minutes more and more come down

and it starts really snowing.

Finally for once on Christmas,

it actually snows.
