Snow on Sand Mountain

Covering all with
purity in silence,
softening the day
with wonder and glow,
who but a god
would think of snow?

Making of the cold
a blanket of love,
covering and forgiving imperfections below,
who but a God
would think of snow?

If there isn’t a god
I ‘d make one up quick,
before you can blink,
before you can say no.
Who but a God
would think of snow?
