White snow landscapes covering ground
yet within is such beauty to be found.
Children building men made of snow
eyes lit up and little faces aglow.

Listening to laughter as they play
bringing happiness into the day.
Sneaking up, oh no, snowball fight
playing until the absence of light.

Rushing in with noses red
cocoa and toast, now they're fed
"Mom your the best, hope you know
can we go back out to play in the snow?"

Children are a gift from God above
fulfilling lives with joy and love.
Little form asleep on feather bed
God, thank you for her , is all I said.



On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. ~me~

Beautiful and sweet.  
Both, this piece and our children.
Even though they can test our paitence.....
they truly are a gift.

Victoria, Irie, Charisma, thanks so much.
They can be a trial, but most definately
a joy.  I  hope we all can stop and take
the time to be thankful.  And Charisma,
I love the picture, thank you.

Eagle One, Greeneyes, Coco, and Cassandra
thank you all so much.  There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God that I have something so special in my life, and pray that I never take that for granted.  Thanks all....
