Apple In The Snow

It was a wintry white-out day As I went about my chores A chill filled the country air Ice held tight the old barn door The sun was out that morning The snow sparkled like tiny gems The trees were oh, so beautiful Snow laden on their limbs The cow peeked out of the shed He too I know felt the cold It was the kind of day That nature was so bold It was then that I saw it Standing out bright and red It was a red apple, you see A little ways from the old shed It put a smile upon my face So beautiful, you know? It was so startling to see An apple in the snow!
