Celebrate The Snow For It Is Not a Permanent Thing/ When the
Sun Comes Out It Melts
We are told it is the season to be jolly celebrate be of good cheer
I awake each morning with
good intentions my
disposition tenuous
As delicate as the wing of a butterfly or a rainbow like melting snow
It appears and then it is gone soon the corners of my mouth turn down
Memory begins to paint its picture I remember a beautiful
boy
Strong and blond a
funny character against all odds we
had high hopes
Your sailor hat cocked
to the side your little black dog at
your heels
what should not happen happened one minute you were here
The next gone in
place of snow only a memory
remains

I can see that blond boy, with his little black dog. So poignant, Annell. This time of year does bring memories of those who are no longer with us. I especially like your lines about the spirit, fragile as butterfly wings..........sensitive hearts are touched so deeply.
My heart aches a bit for you.
Time is so fleeting, and when one is taken from us it is so hard.
A lovely description in the sailor hat. A good memory.
Still the ache.
I see him. Sadness. While every season reminds us of the loss, snow contains that special rapidly erased beauty. May you find comfort and joy this season.
How quickly our celebrations can turn to mourning, as you well know. Hugs from afar to you during this season, especially, but during all seasons.
OMG, Annell. This is so poignant. One morning here, the next gone. We really need to celebrate what we have WHEN we have it, as tomorrow is so uncertain.
Holiday times seem to bring grief to the fore. Your words tugged at my heart. I'm sending warm hugs.
in place of snow only a memory remains... that is heartbreaking Annell. What is it about festivals and celebrations that brings pain to the forefront. Wishing you comfort and strength.
Life itself is as fragile as the butterfly wings and it's as beautiful. My hugs to you Annell, we're on the same boat. Sigh.
Moving piece, Annell. Sending hugs your ways!
