Winter Wisdom

My breath catches
in the bitter cold

Teeth chatter
Shoulders shake

To escape Winter’s arrival,
I need to move faster
Instead, my motions slow

Besides, there is no escaping
And winter won’t last forever

Merely long enough
to remind me what
is important

Warmth from
a cozy blanket

Steam from a
cup of hot tea

The much-needed
rest that occurs
as I lean my head
against your shoulder

      1. From the way our traffic is it’s going to be a big one I’m thinking, Kelley! My niece’s bday party is canceled. I’ve spend the last several days helping my parents prepare. I’ve thought of you often and prayed too!
        It might be the prettiest snow yet?
        Sending love and hugs. ❄️❄️🤗
