Snow, Sledding, Snow Snakes, Santa, Serenity
Someone safe sharing some smiles splendidly
Years ago, when I was just a child. Spending time with cousins was wild.
We went sledding on an old car hood. Some of us stood.
There was ice cream made of snow. My little siblings in tow.
We made snow snakes and played games. I am better at my aims.
As children, we couldn't wait for Santa to arrive. I was only five.
I had my tonsils out that year. I shed more than a few tears.
All the winter fun helped to keep my mind elsewhere.
We spent so much time outdoors and I never wanted to be anywhere
else. Thinking back brings me so much peace and serenity.
It was a great way to spend my fifth year of life restfully and pleasantly.
