Winter’s bold beginning

Storm and cloud bring her white wonder to the streets

Kids and kin gather again oh what fun we’ll have together

Frost tells of his gift as an artist on nature’s canvas

Weathered evergreens wear coats of solid snow

Hearth and home offer warmth and welcome to all

Bitter cold air tells of the fire in our lungs  like smoke from a chimney

The breath of life and gift of another year

The close of a book well written full of love and struggle, life and death, comfort and joy,

beauty and mess,  hope and heart

December
