Making Memories

A picturesque day fresh blanket of white powder A journey, a quest to make memories One, two, skip a few, ninety-nine, one hundred racing up the steps to the top of the hill faster hurry daddy !! Toboggan in tow Dad's too slow Top of the hill they're all finally there Get in line and wait their turn Enter the chute One, two, three, four, and finally five Down the slide they fly what a rush, feeling so alive The perfect memory The perfect time "Back to the top of the hill" "I'll race you" A smiling dad sighs

:) Our children are the ones we live for...they are the ones we make decisions for...and at times, their destinies are what rule our lives. Lovely piece.
