morning light

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 in the shed
a day to build forts
and snowmen
a day to make angels
that lay in the snow
a day to play
till fingers – toes
& noses
are so so so
very cold

 

then
hustled back in
warmed by the hearth
hot chocolate waiting
with marshmallows melting
while a story by grimm
is read

 

this is a day
that memories are made
