Winter Footprints

One day I saw some footprints

Right there in the snow

And as I walked by I couldn't help but notice

They're following me as I go

It's funny how snow makes the ground white

Although it was once green

But the snow-covered earthen floor

Makes the former color unseen.

I wonder who made these prints

Was it beast or child?

Maybe it was the postman

Or a creature from the wild?

I'll never know for sure, I guess,

Maybe It's best not to know,

I'll simply sit here and take in

The sight of the beautiful snow.

Another snow day!
