Winter World in Western New York

Winter World in Western New York

Winter World in Western New York

Winter World in Western New York

Hear the humming
In the nght
Giving power
Shedding light

================

Drive the streets
With branches down
Snow and wind
Have stormed the town

Leaving paths
Of mass destruction
Cables and trees
Become obstruction

Then cold sets in
Upon the night
In darkness parents
Calm the fright

Lighting candles
Flashing lights
Keeping children
In their sights

Suddenly
The house is quiet
No TVs or videos
To cause a riot

Out come puzzles
Cards and books
Makes Mom take
A second look

Families join
And bond together
As they face
Inclement weather
