Michelle Tiddy - Conkers (or maybe bonkers)

2014-11-07 9

Pull on those gloves.
Tug your hat over your ears.
Wrap a scarf of dreams around
Your neck and come join me....

Let's go for a walk in the
Winter sunshine, kicking the leaves
Along the pathway of life
Delighting in togetherness

Collecting conkers
Remembering our youth
Watching our frosty breath
Make patterns in the air

Huddling together
Playfully pushing and shoving
Dodging the icy patches, gently
catching each other's stumbles

Pinching red noses
Savouring cold lips and sweet hotness
Running the last few yards
And crashing throught the front door

Those simple things
That mean so much when shared
Take a mug of hot chocolate
And just sit and stare....
