Power Failure!

                            
It's a still, dark night!
Freezing rain!
Coating everything in sight!
Flashlights...matches...candles...will provide,
Extra light, here by my fireside!
I don't require power....just paper and pen,
I'll jot down my thoughts and later type them!
All will be well....there's nothing to fear,
I'm safe and warm! My candle is near!
Time to relax and think, at the close of day,
About all of life's memories, that seem to say,
"We are frozen, too.........in a special, time zone."
Yes! Memories of days, that can never leave home!
At times like this, when all stands so still,
Here.... half way up...... on my beloved, white hill!
I've a chance to reflect, on my personal ways,
Yes, so many thoughts, about so many days!
I'll put them away, when dawn does arrive,
Don't need to dwell, once comes the sunrise!
For there will be many, new mountains to climb,
And new rivers to cross, all of the time!
I will go forth, with more knowledge and hope,
After review....I'm more able to cope!!
Power returns, to my life and my home,
No need to worry! No need to roam!
