Ice and Snow

When the cold winds blow It can freeze your soul The feel of ice in your veins Hoping you can unthaw again When the snow storm is strong and you can't see When life is mixed up how can it be The wind and ice strong and cold Like the sorrows we behold The unthawing of the snow Is like the unthawing of the soul Each little snowfake of our life Make up some of our sorrow and strife So as the drops melt away And the ice can no longer stay Let the winds blow our sorrow Into a new tomorrow

this is really nice, Phyllis, AS I looked for poems to comment on, I realized I had commented probably to every poem on your current page of poetry. Gosh, YOUR name starts with P. I had gone thru the premium members and thought I caught all the people with names I could use in my little acrostic you just read! Then when I saw your name in the comment box just now I realized I had missed your name. Sorry about that. I missed a few others too! LUv, Andrea
