Snow Angel

Snow Angel


headlong into clouds

babe dug tunnels in the snow

smiling from heaven



……a day like today….. sun reflecting off the icy snow, about 5-below-zero….my animal best 
friend (Golden Retriever)  “Babe Ruth”  thought he was in heaven on earth!....now he’s in 
heaven smiling…

This one really touches my heart, James. We have always been a Golden Retriever family...have had several.......best dogs we ever had. We do have a Lab at the moment...but our fondest memories are of the retrievers......they are the best, and sweetest personalities ever. I want another someday. Sweet poem indeed!
