We shared a wonderful experience this morning,
My son and I
We walked together as the sun rose behind the clouds
We walked in the snow.
The snow fell with discipline, straight down
With no wind to dictate to it
Where it's new resting place would be.
I pointed out the sounds of birds chirping and whistling,
The cars and trucks on the highway in the distance.
We slid in the freshly made car tracks, like cross-country skiing!
He learned how to slide in the slippery tracks.
We walked quite a distance, for at each intersection I'd ask,
Which way do you want to go, this way or that way?
He'd point further and further away from home.
It was quiet and fun. We were very happy together....
Until he had to go pee and we had to run home
As fast as we could!!! Of course he'd have to pee when
We were the furthest from home we could possibly be.
Still, it was a wonderful experience, he following in my footsteps
Reminding me when I was a child. I used to step into my mother's
Footsteps while walking behind her in the snow.
Alas, we made it home, no damage done.
