Milk Bread and Wine

In days long gone
When Winter loomed,
My child's excitement
Of snow days bloomed!

Hopes and dreams
Of accumulating snow,
Sleds and angels...
Excitement would grow.

The mittens and hats,
I would hunt oh so quick.
Please Old Man Winter,
Just let it stick!

The TV on...
To the weather gods tuned
Does my county make the list?
Do we dismiss at noon?

Years have passed
And I prepare for today...
The weather still streaming,
Is it on the way?

Yet today my excitement
Ignites a ridiculous fire...
Milk, Bread, and Wine
I must acquire :)
