Up North

(View from Mom and Dad's front yard)



Up North
Crisp white snow
Untrodden and pure
What kind of animal left those tracks?
Coffee in the morning
Thick sliced bacon and free range eggs
The love only a Mom and Dad and Grandma and Grandpa can give
Sledding on high hills
Narrowly missing trees
Turns at the last minute
Ice fishing for the first time
Grandpa's special shanty
Jet black nightfall
Stars close enough to touch
Huge bonfire
Marshmallows,chocolate bars, and graham crackers melded into ecstasy
I hope I never have to come back
