“Ah, distinctly I remember
it was in the bleak December
And each separate dying ember
wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;
— vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow
— sorrow for the lost Lenore.”

pleasure
feels good
free from guilt
can make everyone happy
delight

winter snows cover
Mother Nature takes her nap
cold silence prevails

Poem:
.
with a God given aptitude
and a very positive attitude
one cannot but have gratitude
for living a life of love
tolerance we can duplicate
patience which we can educate
forgiveness a spirit to elevate
guidance from above
beginning the day with reflections
strength to share kind affections
courage to follow His directions
being able to love
doing nothing that is immoral
learning to live with thinking abnormal
accepting that no one is immortal
inspiration from above
no fear of being secluded
resentments finally concluded
in society a joy to be included
glad to share the love
given a pathway to recovery
relief from all of the drudgery
every breath a God given luxury
blessings from above

This posting strikes so many memorable cords.
Winter snow I no longer experience, but remember the blanket of white that aided in the blessings of spring, just months away, having nourished from the wet decay…
