SNOW ME AWAY

“SNOW ME AWAY” by Larry Delano Coleman 01/05/14 Snow has an innocent appearance to a child. So fluffy, so white, so pretty, so bright. What harm could it possibly do? But they soon learn that snow's cold can burn. And that its beauty can and will injure you. My burning hands were immersed in big pans of circulation-restoring water, after a snowball fight, one cold winter night, left me all in tears. Too anguished to argue with me, Momma comforted me; while Daddy again lectured to me about that snow, as befo'. Now chastened and looking back, the general lesson is that: snow will blow you away, that snow can blow you away! #30
