Love Poem: First Winter

First Winter

First Winter

My hat is;
My hat was a gift from my guy. 
It keeps my head warm…
and I can think now, 
more clearly. 
(The cold, it was bitter indeed)

My hands;
My hands have new gloves. 
Warm heart, warm hands, 
that is the saying, 
they say…
somewhere.
(I can feel my fingers now. There were numb.)

My shoes;
Boots. 
Leather STOMPERS and wool socks.
My man bought me the very best he could afford. 
I cried when he opened the package. 
The value I had been given up until then, 
much less. 
(You never know the measure of something until it is missed.)

Love;
Making sure the one you care about…
is cared for…
