Wrapped In Warm Memories

It was many years ago,

After many kisses too,

A young girl fell in love,

Beneath a sky of blue.


God brewed up a storm,

Snowflakes roared like thunder,

What God has joined together,

Let no man put asunder.


A blizzard roared in,  

On a cold winter's night,

The moon casting shadows,

Onto a bed of white.


The moon was the only witness,

To passions they had shared,

Blankets of snow ,

Covered all that they had bared.


These are memories for a woman,

Who looks for each winter's snow,

Staring towards the heavens,

When the winter winds blow.


It's then that she remembers, 

All the promises made, 

So very long ago, 

It burns for her a warm fire, 

And a bittersweet glow.
