Wow! Such cute kids you had back then. Well, they have remained cute to this day. Even more than cute. :-)

Poem is short but meaningful. Took me a moment to realize that the second stanza is actually the same poem but in French.

This is a poem I can relate to as I love snow. Being surrounded by all the snow brings out the kid in me and makes me happy.

As always, thank you for sharing.

The picture and the words are just perfect. The enfants so charming and could be any of ours. The French is so close to English. Having only taken Spanish, I am so ignorant of French but can see the similarities and it makes me want to learn it!!! Very beautiful, Regis. Thanks for another gift. Love from Meredith
