Around the Corner
Having come from a tropical country, i enjoy the sun and the warmth it brings. Never in my wildest dream did i really believe that one day i would be living here in America. Time like winged birds just fly by. If you don’t pay attention you will just wake up young today and old tomorrow. Summer is leaving us and i feel sad for his departure for it means that Winter is just lurking around the corner. I use to enjoy going outside in the morning but not anymore.I dread the mornings where i have to walk my stepdaughter to the bus stop. The feel of the stinging chill of the wind and the smell of winter coming make me let out a big sigh of regret. Winter will be coming around that corner. I loved winter the first time i arrived for i got the chance to see,taste and feel snow and see how the tree branches and twigs get icicles. The day we got married was like in winter wonderland.All powdery white,still and peaceful. Its time to put away all my summer stuff and take out the winter ones. The only consolation is this will be my daughters first winter where she is old enough to stay out and even get to play in the snow with big sister. Daddy will have to be the designated entertainer when it comes to playing outside. What daddy wouldn’t do for his little angel…
Summer, I thank you for coming and will look forward to feeling your warmth again.
