Within these walls, a mother reads
a book to two young children;
a whole world being brought to life,
a heroine, a villain --
And yes, letters and numbers matter;
but, real elevation
comes from the schooling of the heart
that's in imagination
The snow blows cold outside. The lights
are strung for winter weather;
there is no camera can show
the feeling of 'together'
A mother and her two young kids
in chilly, dull December,
a story told as time stands still,
that they'll recall
forever
