a brisk bite
of freshness
the cold air
that turns a nose
red &
cheeks pink
with a slight sniffle
and a light step
to 1’s stride
a stroll
within a forest
blanketed

christmas day
has come & gone
along with all
the christmas songs
tree trimmings
have been stored away
cookies & sweets eaten
pounds needed
to be shed away
oh my……
wasn’t it the same
last year

morning light….
the transition from night….
hearts wake……
making room for a new day

a white blanket
covers all
a falling of snow
awaits for children’s
cries of glee
waiting for mom’s
to find mittens & hats
waiting for sleds
buried

bring together your family
………………………..& friends
remind each and everyone
of them

tis the season
to hang holly
be jolly
& merry too

trim

white lace covered lawn
angels’ footprints adorning
cardinals’
