a christmas trip we wander
hoarfrost haze shadows our way
the frozen road gently winding
a broken glimpse of snowy wind gusts
to grandma’s house, scenes we’re finding
rest my little ones
the fun will be had
a christmas trip we wander
good conversation
love does abide
in this, we all grow stronger
This is awesome……brought such beautiful images into my heart.
Happy New Year, Cindy!
I no longer have any grandmas, but I remember things like this.
And yes, they make us stronger.
Well written.
Duane… the great thing about having kids someday (hint) is you get to relive these moments! : )
Nice poem, Cindy. It takes me back to when I was a child and some of the trips we made to visit relatives during the holidays. Hope you have a happy and blessed 2011!
My parents rarely took us on trips when I was young. : ( Now that I’m the Mom, I can change that!
“in this, we all grow stronger”
I liked that.
Right now with the isolating snows, I’ve been gathering my kids around the modern ‘radio’ (TED podcasts), for laughter to grow us strong.
LL… family moments… it’s what warms my heart!
