Do you remember dearest son, How it would so often snow Upon your springtime birthday In your childhood long ago? Do you recall the time I took A little run into town To buy a sled for you to ride When the snow came falling down? With my old car and its bald tires, I shouldn't have taken the trip, For with all that heavy snowing Those old tires began to slip. Another driver stopped to help. When I told him of your sleigh, He chuckled and turned my car around With good wishes for your birthday. School would often let out early And they'd cordon off the hill, So all the kids could safely sled. A spring snowfall was a thrill. Some folks may be surprised to see This special gift from above. But not your Mom, who's happy, For she knows it's sent with love. Joyce/19/2001 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (03-18-2002 10:46 PM).] |

Joyce: This is a sweet and charming poem. Strangely enough I was thinking earlier today how it has snowed on my son's birthday so many times. His birthday is March 2nd. I think we have had snow every day this month!! Betty Lou Hebert |

Joyce, I love this. what sweet memories we have of our children when they were young. they warm me now when they are busy far away from me. Thank you for sharing this with us. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Thank you Betty, Pegasus, Denise and Marge. Today I woke up to three or four inches of snow covering our spring. Very strange. Joyce |
