laughter and screams
making memories

lining the street
here comes Santa Clause—

yells from her porch everyday
crazy old lady

the spoils of our treasure hunt

across the road
going nowhere—

breath on the window
the snow plow rolls by
school's canceled

renovates into a fort

debating who is going to win

tiny footprints
in the sand
I see growth

our shadows elongate
with the setting sun

snuggled underneath

floating down so slowly
along with my cares

tiptoeing in

lazy river
floating down so slowly
along with my cares
