Wonderstruck

When I was only four, we made a major move. My old home was warm and beautiful all year long, now I was going to see the four seasons. My first winter was coming, each day was getting colder and colder. Christmas would be here very soon, I just could not wait for Santa. On this morning I looked out the window and saw snow, snow for the fist time and I was Wonderstruck. I ran outside, I wanted to feel the snow and play in it. What a magical monument, now to build my first snowman. Date Written: 11/21/2021 5 Place Wonderstruck Contest Judged: 11/28/2021 Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori
