I was looking at my screen-saver with its blue candles with the white wax spilling over the edge.So this is what came to mind.
Love Bon-Bon

Candles In The Snow

The highway was slippery and wet on that wintery night.
Wipers slapping, covered with ice and snow.
The big ole semi was a movin’ slow.
Trying to move ahead of that ole blizzard of ’78.
Tail-lights ahead weaving all over the place.
But that big ole semi kept a movin’ on slow.
The CB a hummin’ and a cracklin’.........
Hey! Big Daddy you out there?
I’m here Rabbit Ears
Can’t see a thing with the wind and ice
Got to keep movin’
Cause my baby is a comin’ tonight.
That big ole semi just kept on movin’ slow.
Big ole ditches aside the road.
Cars and trucks a spinin’ out of control.
Sirens screamin’, red lights a flashin’.
But that big ole semi kept on movin’slow.
Off the highway onto a country road.
The snow deep, the wind a howlin’.
Ice covering his windows.
How will Big Daddy find his way home?
No path, no light ..........
Only the blinding snow and icy sleet.
The big ole semi is a movin’slow.
As the wind shakes man and machine-
Big Daddy trembles in fear.
Ahead he sees flickering lights.
The big ole semi keeps movin’ ahead slow.
Candles of blue, line the driveway, with glowing light.
That big ole semi comin’ to a grateful stop.
In the doorway with its brilliant light-
Stands a woman and a new babe born.
Big Daddy turns and gazes down his driveway-
To his surprise no light is seen
Only darkness fills the freezing rain.
On the highway-
A big ole semi is a movin’ slow.
Ahead in the darkness of freezing rain
He sees flickering lights
He stares in disbelief
For on this deadly night is the glow
         of
Candles In The Snow.

Once again, Bon-Bon, you had us right there.
By the way, I love the idea of blue candles in the snow.
I don't see much snow here, so I love "seeing it"
through the eyes of all of you here at Passions.
Hugs, my friend
