\n*********************<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Snowdazed <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I see them now
\nas they tumble down
\nbefore my face
\nand land on the ground,
\nthe largest snowflakes,
\nremembering them now
\nas I recall the winter white,
\nthe blizzard snows
\nof yesteryear gone by.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trudging to school,
\nsnow up to my waist;
\nstuck on the turnpike
\nfor hours upon end;
\ndays at school when
\nI was the only one for
\nDad never missed a day
\nof work so snow days,
\nour family had none.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And I might be feeling
\njust a twinge of guilt
\nas I watch the reports
\nof the winter snows
\nin places so very far away.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So I close my eyes
\nand at once I’m there,
\na child of winter once more
\nbuilding forts and igloos,
\nto pass the time;
\nand snowmen that
\nlasted for months,
\nit seemed,
\nbefore melting away
\nwith the showers of spring;
\nand snow angels
\nso very sure the real thing.;
\nand snowball fights
\nthat lasted forever,
\nmost important events
\non those very cold days.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This child of winter’s past
\nremembers it all
\nand the anticipation we felt
\nof that very first snowfall.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
