Once Upon a Time With Robert Frost

I remember
always walking with her 
On The first snow of the year
In the evening
under the street lights
The snow would swirl around us.                      
How very peaceful 
and wonderous it was, 
I Could feel the tiny ice crystals 
On my cheek 
everything seemed so right
as we traveled on foot that special night. 
We walked arm in arm, 
a friendship never to fade 
a bond so comfortable and 
Purposely made
I found a book in a childs' book store 
Reminding me of the love 
I feel for winter,
The quiet peace of
stopping by the woods
On that snowy evening
She was the first to show me 
how to make a snow angel
the first to play tag 
in a snow pie.
She told me 
every snow flake 
was different, special and new.
How glad my heart was 
as it rejoiced in winter
Because of her.

A beautiful tribute to your mother, Dawne. I am sure that she has read this for I believe they keep track of things like this in heaven.
