A Trace of Snow

A trace of snow this morning, but a paltry

layer, not enough for a fort, not suitable to

roll into a snowman of consequential size.

Yet, it is a lovely and enticing cover of white,

a fair amount to shape by hand and send a

packed snowball into flight.

A trace of snow is an ample supply for a

child to make something of it, more than

nature had originally intended it to be.

Without the child of imagination, the trace

of snow would have most certainly melted

away uselessly.
