Beautiful Snow

Beautiful snow, that rests on the tree
The moment is calm and the view is serene

A restful day with children in the street
sledding, making snowmen and memories to keep

As snow glitters and gently falls
my mind drifts away into the trees so tall

What a wonderous beauty to partake
A gift to slow down and take a brake

Oh the beauty that is there, when we stop to see it
Adds to our life balance, when we are present

Anew

So here we are, it's that time of year
When all sit down to access, make goals with hope near

To be brighter, finding more peace
Better each day, committments to keep

We have more potential, inside each of us
We try to believe and regain the trust

That each moment spent, in reaching past now
Can bring progress to our lives and onward we plow

Toward each given choice, and each given moment
To try harder and not give up, believing we're worth it

So cling to the light, that shines the way
Not letting in doubt, with clear vision let it stay 

In the forefront of your mind, where the victory is in view
The prize is more joy, and each day it is anew
