Winter Romance

Winter Romance

Bundled warm and cozy,

We braved the cold and snow,

To join the ranks of skiers,

At magnificent Lake Tahoe.

After several lessons,

I bravely caught a lift,

And thanked my lucky stars,

When fate gave me a gift!

I hurtled down the mountain,

One ski left behind,

Until I crashed into you,

But you didn’t seem to mind.

We checked for broken bones,

Laughing all the while,

Even decked with snow,

You had a lovely smile.

We made it down the mountain,

And shared a nice mulled wine,

That was the beginning,

Of a winter romance divine.

As spring buds began to open,

Our feelings blossomed, too,

A romance that ignited in winter,

Grew and grew and grew.

In the warmth and heat of summer,

Under a brilliant moon,

On the blue shores of Lake Tahoe,

We exchanged our vows in June.
