Snow

Memories made from blanket of snow Little children with big red glow Mammy and daddies laughing out loud Children become a very big crowd Night is white with clean glowing fields Animals sheltering in the barn Silence is ere in this calm People gathering by the fire Children knock on the door Hands numb need their mum Ready for bed to play next day Smiling faces sleeping

Hi Jan , 1982 was a real snow fall they think this might be on the same scale ,,, I do love snow but my heart goes out to the vulnerable old , homeless and animals trapped in snow blizzards ::)))) hugs
