Looked out bedroom window with glee
Snow drifted on my rooftop seen
The porch roof out my window sill
See all white, cold and softly still
Quiet whiteness, inviting me
—
Fallen snow on slanted roof edge
Don my snow pants and boots to hedge
Dared the slippery easy slope
Then out my bedroom window go
—
Slippery ice is hidden there
As a child, I give it no care
I fall and scoot to mounds below
They break my fall—the drifted snow
Child memories of moments rare
Always looking with glee

Second stanza: dared the easy slippery slopeR: looking for the glee to glow ? And very very last line: out my window go? 🤔☺️

If you change your final line to match the last line of the second stanze you follow the form and it makes sense in a sweet way while also showing how childhood sort of goes out the window as we age!
