When The Snow Came...

wanting, wishing, waiting

now softly falling flakes

green needles capped with white

watching in wonder

warm in our nest

"Mamma can we play?"

Yes.

trapsing, tromping, twirling

sledding, sliding, swirling

angles flapping flying

face turned toward the heavens

eyes clamped against the chill

catch some on your tongue

howling wind, rosie cheeks

"Just one more minute,

mama please!"

frozen fingers,coaxed inside

sweet promises

of tasty treats

drying clothes, thawing skin

cocoa warming

from within

sitting, snuggling, cozied up

resting nesting

tasting heaven When the snow came.
