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.
