You Don’t Know Jack
Winter Warning In Effect
The kettle whistles in the kitchen
The fire is crackling down the hall
No matter how warm, it is his mission
To chill the mood with his frosty balls
He’s gathering up his ammunition
Someone’s about to take the fall
Winter’s waiting outside the window
No need in praying for the thaw
There’s a new villain on the scene
He’s bound to make you pay the cost
The door blows open fast and mean
And standing frigid is ol’ Jack Frost
His cold hard stare you must resist
He’ll have you frozen fast with fear
Once he puts you on his list
There is no hiding anywhere
He’ll reel you in with his icy stare
Sending shivers down your spine
Though you know you should beware
He’ll leave you numb and feeling fine
Bundle up tight put on some layers
Get your mittens and a scarf
Jacks a mean warm weather hater
He’ll snuff out your fire and break your hearth
Heed my warning now, listen closely
It’s not a wives tale to ignore
He’ll chill the champagne and make a toast
And leave you frozen on the floor
So baton down the hatches
Store up the firewood just in case
Stock up your supply of matches
Keep the windchill off your face
The days of jolly little snowman
Has disappeared without a trace
Jack is here and he means business
Shake off the chill make no mistake
Say your prayers and beg forgiveness
Jack’s leaving winter in his wake

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.

Jack and I happen to be mortal enemies, lol. I cannotttttt stand the cold. Loved your take on this challenge!
Ah, but one look into your eyes, Kelli, & he'll melt into a puddle faster than Frosty in a poinsettia hot house. My gaming profile is Jackbashful (Jack for the J-K of our last name, bashful for the introversion/autism), so when I first read your title I thought, "Yep, very few do." Lol.
Frosty balls. Lol. This is great. Well done.
