Special night


The wind blew and howled
The frustration grew as the snow piled up
We had shoveled and shoveled
~
After a bit we were feeling the cold in our feet
We had no power and the sun was about to set
The fireplace was our only source of heat
~
The kids had been playing on our hill
JOE my puppy had a little spill
He had been riding the sled to the bottom of the hill
~
Sledding, snow coasting, getting their fill
The kids and him all taking turns
Up and down for excitement and thrill after thrill
~
Candles were lit
Hot chocolate was brewing
Crackling of the logs they were starting to spit
~
I got out the old lantern and lit it
Watched it get brighter
The kids cheered, I was an instant hit
~
No TV, we all cuddled by the fire
The kids and Peggy held me tight
We sang old songs till we begin to tire
~
I will always remember our night by the fire
