• And I remember
    Sliding
    Down a slope with snow, As fluffy as the clouds.
    With my dad sitting in front of me steering
    Avoiding the bumps.

    And I remember
    My black and brown puppy
    Running
    Alongside the sled
    Like a prancing fawn,
    Chasing to catch up with me.

    And I remember
    Making igloos with my brother,
    Then having a snowball war.
    Dodging around the snow
    He barely misses me.
    Throwing mine as hard as I could
    Bull's eye!
    Right in the face.

    And I remember
    My brother chasing me
    Into the house I ran.
    And forgetting what the fight was about,
    As I reached for
    Some hot chocolate.
    And he too forgot as he sipped
    Down the sweet warmth.

    And I remember
    The smiles on our faces
    As we sat on the living room floor.
    Deciding who had won.

    And I remember
    Thinking
    This is mine
    This sweetness of chocolate
    The cold hillside snow
    Igloos
    Snowballs
    Family
    Is
    Mine
