The snow is gleaming and glowing with light and color
it breaks when I step in it so fine it’s like art
I see the snowman my brother made, almost falling down the slip side scape
His nose such a perfect orange point realizing I’m feeling my fright
I feel so alive and giddy when I see the winter skies
Knowing that when I slide down the mountain in front of me,
My body and mind will burst into butterflies
I faintly hear my cousin’s giggle as she gets ready to slide down with me
I’m so focused on how I’ll feel and how I’ll be scared
But I know that I will be fine and my cousin will comfort me through
So when it’s time, I’m ready as ever and slide down with a “Woo! Whoo!”
