TOGETHER ON A QUEST

a memory of emily and I wandering

Tuesday morning,
Once again the alarm intruded.
Green fields and sun
Eased into the past,
The Christmas break was over.
Hurriedly I grabbed clean socks and all.
Emily still slept.
Red eyed, I turned on the coffee pot.

On my computer as I sat down;
New Weather Bug warnings.
A blizzard had rolled in overnight.

Quite a sight met me as I opened the door.
Useless to go to work,
Everyone was excused for the day.
Setting the table for breakfast,
Thoughts of a day of fun with Emily made me smile.

Together on a quest for a perfect place
for sledding in the neighborhood,
we would spend the day snow stomping,
wandering and having fun.
