One Boxing Day..

The floor, covered with snow.
The grass, poking through, dewy shoots pearled with water.
The lake, iced over.
The ducks, sliding, skating, scrabbling for bread.
The mist of children's breath, clouding the playground's air.
The steam, wafting out of cups of hot chocolate.
The rosiness of cheeks and noses, fighting the winter elements.
The secret smiles, the laughter, families reunited.
The perfect day..
