Happy Saturday everyone! Today I'm sharing a poem that I wrote when we had quite a bit of snow on the ground about...two weeks ago. Goodness, it doesn't seem like that long. :P  My poems aren't 'amazing' by any means, but they're fun to write and I hope you at least enjoy. If you want some really good free verse poetry, I highly recommend  Julia's blog, Twilight to Dawn.   She's a super talented gal. ;)  this snow it tells a story  a story of a fallen world  a story of a sinful people  daily we fail we wrong God we wrong each other  this snow is like that  no longer as pretty as perfect as picturesque  as it was before  it's like this world marred by sin scarred by people's wrongs  but even still through it all there is beauty to be found  for those who know  where to find it  in the One who saved us all by His ama...
