Snow

Christmas now is over.
We are now in the new year.
I'll soon be flying home again
But wishing to be here.
We've spent time with my sister's family,
Nephew and neices too,
Got acquainted with dogs and cats, .
Shopped for things almost new.
The days pass far too quickly.
The freeways with snow and rain
Were a challenge to drive on
But I had no need to complain.
The snow is still falling this morning.
Trees and roofs sparkling light.
The beauty leaves me breathless,
Really a gorgeous sight.
My daughter and her husband
Have blessed these days with joy.
My dearest wish they lived close by -
Now that I would really enjoy.
