11.The FirstSnow
During the night,
The first snow fell stealthily.
Like a guestfrom a distant land
The first snow brings warmth into our heart.
After the leaves fell on dreary branches,
It came quietly.
To an acrid mind of loneliness.
The first snow brings warm comfort.
Life is full of beauty
Just as leaves make beautiful colors.
Yet as the leaves fall, there is farewell;
Death comes to us.
Thus life is like a dreary winter morning.
The first snow is God's warm love.
He embraces our winter morning.
