As the sun slowly rose this morning
I saw a blanket of untouched white
And knew there was something I wanted to do
Though I should probably wait until night.

Still I put on my warmest jacket and gloves
Found my big socks and one boot -
While looking for the other I knew
This was going to be be a hoot.

What would the neighbors say when they saw
This old kid, walking quite slow
Getting ready to take a bitter cold dive
To make angels in the snow.

Never did hear what they thought of it
But I'm sure it gave them a start
I just hope they laughed for a bit
For it sure did lighten my heart.

Oh, only if it snowed in my part of California...this only reminds me of its beauty!!! < !signature-->

BSC-
I like this.  
I'm still a kid at play ...
flying kites, rollerskating,
making mudpies in the rain,
and puddle-jumping.

When the kid in me
comes out to play
I care not what
the neighbors say.

BSC, sounds like my grandpa! I wish he still had enough strength to get out and do that. This is a very fun and light hearted poem!  -SEA

LOL this was great and uplifting! I did just that a few weeks ago! I bet my neighbors thought I was nuts, but hey, who cares!
I had to throw adulthood out the window for a few moments, and I had fun doing it! Makes ya smile. And so does this poem!< !signature-->

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

Wonderful poem about a fun type of thing to do, I bet you warmed your neighbors hearts with those snow angels, I know it would have warmed mine seeing them.
