Austrian Memories

I dream of Austria and the beauty of the country, God's perfect winter postcard. The town of Igls, the rooftops and tall spruces, touched with snow, The Latin church that stood tall. A visit with God at Christmas, Beautiful memories and walks through the village. Where the mountain stood majestic in the background, Skiis on my back, dressed in a warm nordic red sweater and cap and black ski pants and boots. I belonged with the village, Ski lessons of the finest. Learning to ski, like a gentle bird on the slopes, My instructor handsome and tall, teaching excellence in skiing guested. The top of the mountain where my second ski instructor also good-looking, Empowered us to ascend to the highest mountain in Austria. The Patscherkophfle, majesty among mountains, After two weeks of instruction I chose to ski to the ski lift. And return to the mountain base, my vacation complete, My warm chalet welcomed me.
