A Teacher's Prayer for Snow

Oh, Lord, let it snow.
Let it drift and let it blow.
In the morning, no real fuss,
Just enough to stop the bus.

Enough to make the County say:
"There will be no school today."
Let the radio report: "Snow's deep!"
And I'll roll over for more sleep.

Then later on, say maybe ten,
I'll turn the radio on again.
Just in time to hear them say:
"It's strange; the snow has gone away!"

And then I'll know, You made it stop,
So I can go to Cover to Cover and shop.
Please, Lord, just hear my teacher's plea,
And make it snow for the kids and me!

Amen

Great! I was doing the snow dance and you were writing poetry.

They let administrators stay home today as well so I plan to enjoy every minute of it.

Love this-we just had our snow day Monday. Here in Georgia it doesn't take much snow for schools to close.
