Thank You to My FABULOUS Neighbors!

This is the snow that God sent:

swirling and whirling
falling and flying
down to the ground at my house.

This is the driveway, long and wide, that caught the snow floating out of the sky;

swirling and whirling
falling and flying
down to the ground at my house.

This is the drift, 6 feet deep, made by the snow plow that pushed the heap;

blocking the driveway, long and wide
that caught the snow floating out of the sky;
swirling and whirling
falling and flying
down to the ground at my house.

This is the shovel, lowly and small, put to the task of clearing it all:
the monstrous drift, 6 feet deep,
made by the snow plow that pushed the heap
blocking the driveway, long and wide
that caught the snow floating out of the sky;
swirling and whirling
falling and flying
down to the ground at my house.

I am the mommy, cold and wet, plowing and digging, but not done yet;
wielding the shovel, lowly and small, put to the task of clearing it all.
Oh, look at that drift, 6 feet deep, made by the snow plow pushing the heap.
It’s blocking the driveway, long and wide
that caught the snow floating out of the sky;
swirling and whirling
falling and flying
down to the ground at my house.

BUT, I have GREAT neighbors, good and true, bringing shovels and blowers to my rescue.
We worked, we three, and together made light
of the craziest, snowiest storm in sight,
as we wielded our shovels, lowly and small
clearing and pushing, but smiling through all.
Many hands do light work make.
Thanks for your help…you take the cake!

Thanks so much, Rachael and Amy!
