ISSDne late December’s frosty night With low degree of Fahrenheit, The wind will blow with all its might And whirl the snowflakes from the height, Descending in a spiral flight; With slanting rays of sun so bright Revealing in the morning light A dazzling and enchanting sight: The world all blanketed in white. Our House of Worship will invite Us all to worship God. despite The cold; for lessons there recite His love that says the time is right To bid the sleeping world goodnight; When He provides, for our delight, The sparkling time of Winter. ? — Gloria Nowak
