 Let It Snow

Her mummy read the story to her.

She listened wrapped in the wonder of snow.

It sounded like so much fun.

Oh yes! she wanted to go on vacation. 

To spend Christmas 

With her cousins in America.

[I do hope it snows, said gramma.]

    It must be hard to live in a world without snow! Sunshine and warm all year round.
    Great poem of longing, Gillena.

    When you can't get snow in Trinidad, gotta head to the New York cousins! Such a lovely poem about your grandkids, Gillena. 💖

    I sure hope for snow too but I don't think it's going to happen. Cheers!

    It's hard to imagine not having snow to frolic in ... eight years in Florida before moving to Oregon was too long to go without flakes falling, landing on my nose and eyelashes.
