A Poem About Love

 

I decided to write a poem about love.

I searched in candy, hearts, and chocolate…

But love was no where to be found.

I kissed, smiled, and reminisced…

But love was some how missing.

 

It began to snow,

And I thought “I hate snow…”

How can I write about love now?

Surrounded by things I hate.

 

Then he grabbed his snow boots, mittens, and coat.

At the age of two, he hasn't learned how to hate.

I laced up my shoes, put on my hat, and grumbled out the door.

 

He grabbed my hand,

Tilted his head back and laughed.

We stuck out our tongues and squeezed our eyes shut.

 

Soon it was time to go inside,

Have lunch and cuddle with a book.

 

As I started to make lunch

I looked out the kitchen window

And to my surprise

There was my love poem,

Written in the snow by two sets of footprints. 

Author's Note

No, I don't have kids; but, I work with them all day.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

You doned it with this one.

You REALLY doned it.

A keeper!

[Anthony Morningstar]

Pretty cool how another person's happiness is something another can catch. It's more then just a love poem it's also about hope in changing a mood.

I thought you did a very good job of turning the idea of dreaded situation into a great experience good luck in the contest.

I like this..i hate snow as well.but i guess when you spend time with the one that you love duoing things that you may not even like it changes your thoughts..lol suddenly things you hate have the best memories and you no longer hate them..
