Hints of paths
Decembers snow
my heart knows to follow
when cold winds blow
~
All but one
too many draw near
snowflakes of memories
are melting I fear
~
Captured magic
in moments of time
try to drift over
my journey inclined
~
Traveled often
as not to hide
keeping footprints visible
to hearts passing by
~
Untangling thoughts
of Christmas past
sharing the joys
making them last
~
With arms linked together
hearts trudge through the snow
my mother and I
catching memories as we go

Dedicated to my loving mother ~ my friend.
Merry Christmas mom love you!
Sometimes these old photographs are the best! I will never forget this snowy winter, when we were snowed in! It was such an adventure for us kids! The footprints you see in this old capture are my dads. Later on my mom got my Auntie Katie to do a canvas. It still hangs on the wall today!
How lovely, Kathy! Your mother must be so pleased and proud to have a sweet poem dedicated to her by her talented daughter. Beautiful photo and beautiful thoughts expressed here. What a blessing! Xx 🙂
A beautiful walk down memory lane…in snow boots! I especially enjoyed the stanza, “ Untangling thoughts of Christmas past, sharing the joys, making them last.” Nice work!
Thank you my friend. Always enjoy your comments they inspire me 🙂 xx
