Twelve Tiny Tales

Twelve tiny tales my mother says
to me most every night
Tales of rivers running blue
Tales of mountains white
Tales for every season
to tuck me in at night
Tales to set my dreams ago
That helps me sleep each night

JANUARY

Weatherman predicts MORE snow
Black dense clouds come rolling in
Logs begin to burn again
Smoke-filled air sits heavy here
Winter’s window reappears
Darkness sets upon this land
Covered up with God’s great hand.
Daytime seems as if its night
Ravens are the birds of flight
Even rivers will not flow
Where did all the creatures go?
Stillness is what you will feel
Almost seems like it’s not real
Coldness takes your breath away
Stay in side the papers say
Icicles hang all about
Only snowflakes dare come out
Temperatures hang way to low
Weatherman predicts MORE snow!
