Waiting For Snow

Tonight it was going to snow I force myself to stay awake until it does I sit by the window and stare outside  Looking closely in order not to miss the snow fall  So far no snow Only rain, only more rain And disappointment  It’s 3 am  I go back to bed Only to jump out instantly and look out the window again  No snow still  I go back to my bed disappointed yet again  I do this until I become too tired to do it again  I lie on my back  Slowly drifting into slumber  With the hope, that morning will be white and magical When I wake up  The first thing I do is go to the window to see what I waited for all night,  To see what I missed all night.
