Love Poem: The Coldest Day

The Coldest Day

My son & grandson are moving
Colorado… It’ll take half a day
Three hours late, just starting the trip
One I don't wish to take anyway

Meandering through the peaks of the Rockies
The temperature plummets outside
Driving through rain, sleet & snow
Has made for a treacherous ride

Upon leaving my loved ones behind
These tears… so freely they fall
There’s ice on the windshield & roads
But my heart feels the cold most of all

My world has just turned upside down
Son & grandson… so far away
Waves of emotions overwhelm
It’s truly been The Coldest Day
