These poems on the weather featured on BBC Radio Guernsey during December 2009

Even though I’m adult, excitement starts to rise

When snow and ice are forecast I eagerly scan the skies.

This year was quite a good one, for the lovely white, cold stuff.

The only one regret I had, was there wasn’t quite enough.

It only stayed a day or two, and then in no time all was gone

Because it was a work day I couldn’t have much fun.

I did take lots of photos, for a memory of the day.

Everything looked so different, oh why could it not stay?

A few more days, perhaps a week, it really wouldn’t hurt

But no, it soon began to disappear, and left a load of dirt.

Yet every snow flakes different, it’s hard to take it in..

How can each one vary? Where does one begin? –

To try and understand it, to reason, fathom out.

It tells me of a great Creator, I really have no doubt.

And if He takes such trouble with every single flake

Then let me tell each one of you there can be no mistake-

That you are not here by accident, a random act of fate.

God has a plan for each of us…look up, it’s not too late.
