We went for a walk in the woods today
down in the deep dark woods
where the snow underfoot crunches
sending mice a scuttling amongst abandoned fall leaves
and what should we spy sporting a flash of Christmas red
a female Pileated Woodpecker
we went for a walk in the woods today
down in the deep dark woods
and the gifts of life gave another splash of red
a male Pileated Woodpecker
We went for a drive today
out across the barren prairie
out across the stubble catching snow
who should we meet
a Snowy Owl
we went for a drive today
and the presents kept piling up
as the sun receded the earth began to glow
such a beautiful day
spectacular
