A Contrast Between Inside and Out

Outside......

snow is softly falling, a blue haze is quietly forming, a stillness is gently settling

Inside......

dishes are filling the sink, children are loudly talking, the minutes until bedtime are ticking

dinner is finally done cooking, mouths are busy chewing, two sweet voices asking, "dessert, please?"

Outside.....

icicles are precariously hanging, the snow beneath my feet is crunching, hands are now freezing!

Inside......

children are bathing, dinosaurs and ponies are playing, hopefully no splashing!

a bedroom needs a good cleaning, books are ready for reading, and sheets are ready for snuggling

Outside.....

the air is crisply chilling, in the distance a dog is barking, a sense of peace is calmly filling

Inside.....

the fire is warmly glowing, a baby is sweetly cooing, chubby hands are always discovering

Inside LIFE is fully LIVING!!
