How you laugh and dance,

barefoot 

on the winter-white, blue-skied, snow and iceberged beach

waves crashing, spume rising sunward,

tinkling down,

and how your eyes sparkle with joy, radiant smile.

How you love to tease and mock, 

make me squirm,

goad me into your world, "Come," you say. "Come!"

Laugh or cry, it's all the same to you.

No cold is too cold,

too much is never enough.

Everything life has to offer you take,

then cry out, "Please, sir, I want some more!"
