Awakening in a world of white,
Early, I suppose, these days.
August snow memories,
From childhood come to life.<\/p>\n

Smiling in bathrobe warmth,
Fresh coffee and newspaper.

Her smile colors the world.<\/p>\n

Gas stove fights the cold,
Burns ice from windowpanes.
Reveals nature\u2019s glory,
Painted on white this fall day.<\/p>\n
