We Kids Sled

We kids sled past the home of so-long-ago. We kids wear snow-black boots and warm mittens. We kids sled, on a cold sunny day, across the Vale’s backyard; Old-timers let us kids sled through flurried laughter, cheeks frozen-red, and out all day, it seemed. What was Mom doing, I wonder? I wish I could dust off the window and see her and get a tear in my eye. The teardrop shape is frozen in time. We kids sled without a care in the world.

Your mantra of 'We kids sled' reminds me of 'We real cool' by Langston Hughes. Cheers, Gershon

What was Mom doing, "I wonder? I wish I could dust off the window and see her and get a tear in my eye. The teardrop shape is frozen in time. We kids sled without a care in the world." Magnificent poetry. Got to dab at the corner of my eye after reading such lovely sentiment. Brava!
