A Rainy Christmas Eve

It’s way too warm and way too wet
To feel like Christmas eve.
I have to wonder just what Nature’s
Hiding up her sleeve.

In years gone by, the snowflakes fell
To dust the world with white
And cheeks were rosy from a taste
Of winter’s stinging bite.

Tonight as rain keeps pouring down
It seems a little sad,
When I think back to all those snowy
Christmas eves we’ve had.
