when downhill is good
when downhill is good
another morning
another battle with time
another loss?
still have time to make it to work
answering machine goes on
someones talking to it
my phone ringers off
permanently
everyone talks to my machine
i'm in the other room
getting ready to leave
but curious
who or what
wanted to call me?
hit play
children yelping
in the background
excited
full of life
can remember when
life excited me that way
my sisters voice comes on
it snowed in pennsylvania
i gave them sleds for christmas
but had to do it
at thanksgiving
my nephew and neice
they found a hill
this morning
found other neighbors
and brought them along too
one and three year olds
can do that
get anyone to go along
their neighbors are from the south
first time seeing snow
and down the hill they went
adults and children
all morning long
one after another
karooming
throught the white stuff
and the trek
back to the top
to do it again
having fun
with one of lifes
greatest thrills
glad i listened this morning
the hills i've been on
and the people
i was with
have all come back
and gave me life too this morning
left me feeling like a kid again
