The land went from sun to snow
Cold night giving us a foot or so…
Our morning vision was icy and still
No paths or print marks upon the hill
We bundled up with gloves and boots
Pulled on our hats and zipped our up suits
We descended the stairs and opened the door
Eager to breathe, to taste and explore
The early hush of our steps were light
But soon we were trudging in deep delight
Lumbering and lifting our knees up high
We stuck out tongues to the flaked white sky
They came and they melted, we shared in the beauty
This magical world, just me and my cutie
We paused and we listened to the snow softly fall
Watching the whispers of heaven cover it all…
I leaned down and wrapped my arms ‘round my son
Flashing to when our time first begun…
Pulling him close, as the flakes brushed us by
My cheek went to his, then I looked in his eyes
I could see the blue hint of sudden surprise….
It was a push and tackle and laugh of sheer joy
That came flying out of my mischievous boy…
I emerged from the snow and chased him a bit
But soon school would start and our play time would quit
I watched him move forward, fast snow marring my gaze
As he skipped and he hopped through the powdery maze.
He turned, waved good-bye and blew a sweet kiss
Only hours to wait yet… I will wait with a miss
