These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Sparrowlet: "Thoughts of White Snow"

Thoughts of white snow cover the ground,
painting the mind, wherever found.
Gentle the cold greatly to sow,
lifting oppressive heat that's bound.
Twinkling lights show chill we can know.
Cover the ground, thoughts of white snow.

White snow, my thought, ground cover bliss,
making me cool, thinking of this.
Presents are wrapped, things that I bought,
hoping for peace, childhood I miss.
"Honor the Babe," from youth was taught.
Ground cover bliss, white snow my thought.
