Here I sit again Resting Snow removal finished A big job Very strenuous Even with snow-blower Worked over an hour Then parked the machine Filled it with gasoline Easier now than in the midst of a blizzard Placed my heater to melt the snow in the auger area Then covered the machine with a canvas tarp and weighted the tarp with pieces of wood Now I sit, thankful Nature came Snow came Wind came I cleaned up what was necessary The surrounding area is magnificent Beauty beyond our ability to describe The lake looks almost white Lots of ice and icy-mush Two more months until spring Then one or two more months of winter That is how it is in God’s country A kind of give and take thing Nothing is for sure Life is that way We are just a speck in time Here today, gone tomorrow What did we do? Did we have a positive affect? Will people miss us? Does it even matter? We know who we are What else could matter? What is, is Stanski January 23, 2020 ^
