"Winter..."

"Winter..."

Winter is for fires and cuddling         
... and snowmen and snowball fights
... snowangels,
and thoughts
children's hearts and dreams
...even of Christmas that was and
just maybe will be.

Hot chocolate
and making memories to share
and sharing memories you've made...
and a good morning smile
  you really mean,
and touching a cheek oh so lightly
as you begin a day
and end a night.

Winter is...
the lightest blush
of wish's intent.

there are two boys at the local college now who claim me at reenactments when they're hungry, taking them some venison stew tonight, and cornbread and some brownies that my daughter is baking . . .

because winter is

I agree, this just might be enough to change my mind about Winter, If only we could have Winter without all the cold..haha...not happening..right
This was another lovely piece from you.

Read this three times now, and each time with each word, each line...I smiled..
The ending is awesome...I think I shall never look at Winter the same now.
Thanks

Remembering "The Good Times" of so many winters past .. all the little sharing kissing things .. Sometimes there is nothing left to wish for .. hope has lost it's attraction .. somewhere inside all that pain-death and disappointment .. Christmas was and is a heartache for some .. So we search for sweet memories , and dwell close to them .. Together .. was a good thing, and it can be again ...

Love your memories of all the good things of winter ! .. J. x
