In the calm of white,
I find sweet serenity
As the winter rain
Beats my frozen brow,
Like Joan Crawford and a dozen wire hangers.
Natures's confetti,
I dance in the shower
As I drop all my insecurities
That plague this sweatered heart,
Now free to find my hidden inner child.
Frosted ice cakes,
Cocca wishes,
An ivory parade of December dreams.
Mountain of joy,
Cabin of smiles,
This time of year I truly come alive.
Snow angels,
I pray to the heavens
I never lose this smile
Mothed in the attic
Of corporate obligations
And nine to five demands.
Winter Jacket Paradise,
Racing down the hill
Like a herd of artic gazelles
Frollicing in the wonder
Of mitten kisses
And snowman hugs.
Snowflake dishes,
Yuletide pancakes,
These were days my heart would soar.
Melted heartaches,
Frozen memories,
Why cant everyday be a Snow Day?

When my mother is sad
I am depressed
when my mother is mad
I am furious
when she is stressed
and feeling down
I will cry right next to her
cause she is everything
that i've ever had
when she is feeling lonley
I will be there to hold her
and remind her of my presence
and as each day goes by
I began to understand her
struggle so much more
When my mother smiles
I jump for joy
Just like a little kid
receiving their first
christmas toy
Just being around her
fills and warms me
just like a cup of hot cocca
When she is anything
I am included
I love her so deeply
so whatever she is
I will try to sooth it
