Snowglobe Memories

Oh, how it drew me in, that magic ball- When Grandma let me hold it long ago. I cupped my hands to shake it up a bit, And all at once, it filled with swirling snow! The snowflakes settled neath a bright blue sky- And on a tiny church and village, too. There, standing in the middle, were two deer Staring at me with love, so sweet and true. Each time I went to Grandma's house, for sure- After I hugged and kissed her, there I'd run To shake it gently so it came alive, And with the deer told stories to each one. So like a tiny world, made just for me! Oh, how it drew me in, that magic ball! Though much has faded over many years, This memory still glows in my recall.

It is exactly that to a child, magic, wondering how it works, and engaging with how beautiful it is at the same time. I remember going to my grandparent's house and the things we could do - the typewriter, piano, sewing machine, and feeling the fur and metal nose on the end of a little ornamental puppy on the mantelpiece. this is a sweet reminiscence.
