Carol A. Hand
Greeting christmas morning 2017
grateful for a peaceful scene
finger-freezing cold but bright
snow magnifying sun’s winter light
Grateful for family gathering and sharing
memories of times past, laughter and caring
warmth in connecting despite the frigid weather
the greatest gift precious time spent together

Sending out loving warmth and prayers for peace to all
