Snowflakes are dancing on my window
North winds are howling as they blow
Winter makes its colder presence known
as the seasons always come and go

Snowflakes are the dancers of the season
North winds play the tunes that snowflakes know
Snowflakes big and fluffy, small and star-like
dance through grassy fields and trees that grow

Snowflakes cap the hills with their white icing
as spectacular as a wedding cake
married to mysteries Mother Nature
as their ordered place they readily take

Settling in the deepest depths of forest
making white the trails which rabbits take
decorating trees of every kind
Creator in His kindness choose to make

Who can dance as swiftly as a snowflake
When winter winds play such a powerful tune
Who can move so rhythmically and quickly
in darkness and in moonbeams as they swoon

Swirling around streetlights, sheds and houses
as their star-like presence grace the air
essential elements of spectacular nature
a concert of the Creator's making here

A visual school of dance in winters heart
Created and creating as it goes
Sent forth by a love beyond all telling
Which lifts us all above out natural lows
