Moment in time
By Ann Clinton

It would be only a moment in time

For wondrous possibilities to shine

The very air shivered with delight

Foretelling a star-filled magical night

What would the evening reveal?

What could the weather conceal?

A vast vista; a spacious sight

Hope and excitement a cherished rite

Off in the distance a red dot and sled

Smiling faces now off to bed!
