It was a wintry white-out day
As I went about my chores
A chill filled the country air
Ice held tight the old barn door
The sun was out that morning
The snow sparkled like tiny gems
The trees were oh, so beautiful
Snow laden on their limbs
The cow peeked out of the shed
He too I know felt the cold
It was the kind of day
That nature was so bold
It was then that I saw it
Standing out bright and red
It was a red apple, you see
A little ways from the old shed
It put a smile upon my face
So beautiful, you know?
It was so startling to see
An apple in the snow!
