Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond

The Crying Time of Year

The Crying Time of Year

It's the crying time of year!
Short days and long nights,
contribute to the loneliness
and fear.

It was in dark December,
when the snow was pilling high
and the Christmas lights
were making children sing
that you left
without telling me why.

It's the crying time of year,
when silver bells are ringing,
carolers are singing,
and snow people
decorate city yards.
