Observe life at its best. . .
Angels in the Snow
Wintry days bring chills to the bone
Inviting the cozy fireplace
Sips on steaming cups of cocoa
Add warmth to eagerly embrace
Icy ponds and lakes form mosaics
Under the weight of sleds and skates
Hearts melt, hands clasp firmly together
Balancing two perfect soul mates
Day’s end sends heartbeats pounding
As we race for all our mighty worth—
Slipping, sliding, twisting, turning
Hurrying across the frozen earth
Snowflakes shine in the setting sun
Reflecting pure rawness of nature
Each one caught quickly disappears
Melting under the slightest pressure
A snowball fight puts us on our backs
Giggling and laughing all the while
Eyes meet along with a gentle kiss
Ending the battle with a smile
Lying on the snow-covered ground
We gaze upon the sky’s lustrous glow
Arms and legs reach upward and out
Making wondrous angels in the snow

I remember making snow angels. I still have some old pictures of when Kaity was little making snow angels in the front yard with the dogs helping her 🙂
Send me one of the pics and I will add it with a link to your site. Cool, huh?
What a pretty poem. You always need someone to help you up to make that snow angel perfect 🙂 Very nice picture.
Lovely poem. I never made snow angels but my kids and grandkids do.
Nice one Sharla, love snow angels.
Oh how well I remember the snow angels. 🙂 I LOVE your poem, Sharla. It’s so touching!!
Thanks, Raani. I never did get the chance to make angels in the snow. Maybe one day…never to old to play in the snow. Just got to go somewhere where the snow is falling and sticks to the ground. 🙂
