Missing the Snow!

About this time each and every year,
I dream about something that gives me great cheer!

I hate to admit it, but truth be told...
I'm secretly wishing for alot more COLD!

Yes, it's true, you heard me right!
I'm thinking that SNOW would be a lovely sight!

White and fluffy and perfect for sledding,
For snowballs and snowmen - to the mountains I'm heading!

For a run down a "diamond" all the way to the bottom.
I'd take ALL your snow-covered hills if you got 'em!!

You see I'm not really from around these parts.
Though I'm loving the sunshine, it's not "warming" my heart!

So here's my wish, my heart's big desire -
I'd love a good reason to sit by the fire!

Warming my toes after playing all day,
Making angels in the snow that I hope WON'T melt away.

The reason I'm hoping for this, and I mean it,
It's because my four children have NEVER seen it!

They've read all about it and seen movies and such,
But have never been close enough to it to touch!

So one of these days, we'll pack up and head
To a place that's perfect for using our sleds!

To grandma and gramdpa's we'll have to go,
Because Ohio ALWAYS has lots of snow!

Can't wait to see you, we'll be there next year!
Warm up the fire and have the hot chocolate near!

I'm counting the days till a Christmas that's white,
Because we'll be WITH you, and hugging you tight!



We love you Mom and Dad!! Can't wait to see you!!
