Lulled by promises
by Elouise
Cold air rushes into the void gasping
Shaking rafters and startling trees
Grown soft in mild winter sunshine
Radiators crackle and pop
Kitty curls into a ball of white fur
Humidifiers bubble and sigh
Cars rush by with home on their minds
How cruel to be lulled by promises
Whispered yesterday beneath a balmy sky
No major winter warnings. Just a run of bitter cold weather this coming week. Maybe a bit of snow.
OK. I can’t help myself. Fake weather. That’s what it is! Don’t believe a thing you see, hear or feel. It’s a warm, sunny, beautiful day! Enjoy! 🙂

HA! 🙂 That’s the attitude we need to have every day, but especially on those cold days.
I always say, “Even if the sun is not shining outside, I hope it is shining in your heart!”
HUGS!!! 🙂

Thank you, Elouise! I hope you are, too! We can’t control the weather, but SOMETIMES we can control how we feel inside. 🙂
