March 4, 2013 Poetic Bloomings Cascade


A Steep Hill 

Children bundled in many layers
Waddling like over-fed ducks
Pulling sleds and saucers
Trudging up a steep hill 

I sit on the floor resting
Clothes scattered all over the floor
I smile as I think of the fun they’ll have
Children bundled in many layers 

As I clean up, I remember
Friends working our way to the top
The thrill of flying down to the bottom
Waddling like over-fed ducks 

I bake cookies and get the hot chocolate ready
Put some extra logs on the fire
And wait for them to come home
Pulling sled and saucers

It takes a lot of work to raise children
Great things take effort
I learned this when I was young
Trudging up a steep hill
