Over the river and through the woods

It wasn't a long drive to grandma's house.
Back then there was always feet of snow.
Making the time seem to go so slow
because of drifts and ice on the roads.
Ice drifting down the river, pine trees bowed with snow.
Barren branches dusted with ice
in the sun glinting like diamonds glow.
and there was always something certain I would know.....
Grandma's house filled with love
happiness in the air.
Home made rolls and Christmas pudding
baking in the old wood cook stove.
Her eyes a twinkle, hugs and kisses
her home spit shined and toasty warm.
Hot chocolate with lots of marshmellow's
to keep our belly warm.
I miss those days, memories sweet
I think of her often, specially during the Holidays.
Sometimes I swear I can smell those smells
drifting in the city breeze, but not so
just pleasant things that come to life
from sweet memories.
Tonight Ill travel over the river and through the woods
if only in my dreams.

I love how your words paint beautiful pictures
Makes me feel as if I am there
Precious memories live in our heart and soul
May you feel this love and smiles always
I miss you and send my smiles across the wind
Love and smiles for you |

Precious memories like this will always ensure our loved ones live on. Beautiful homage to your Grandma, and to warm childhood memories. Wonderful write, Michelle!
One of my grandmothers always used to bake too.
Thank you for the smile and memories you have stirred up.
