Warmth inside fades to the cold
Through the open door;
Sun glares on the ice and snow;
Crunching one foot forth
into God's world;
Pulling the scarf across my mouth;
Another glistening world.
Cold wind wraps about me
With wicked arms.
Wet in my eyes goes cold
around my sunglasses.
One slippery step after another.
My old knees creak my walk.
My happy golden charges ahead
plowing a path for me to follow.
Old sun grins upon the earth.
