Dad Was the Last Snowflake

The last great snowflake standing Little snowflakes fell swiftly All around the house they fell Eight male flakes_three little girls House was lively in winter As they all warmed by the fire Boys' boistour tales, girls brush long hair Then silence all rested heads At four A.M. each morn_chores Breakfast, lunch packed off to school Walking that long mile was rule School was important dad said Soon the oldest snowflake wed As life goes all followed him Leaving the warm hearth behind Some of them to produce twins As life goes_death visited All their humble doors sadness Some had children die at birth And some at very young age What they saw in their lifetime Changes that took place_cars_planes Atom bomb that ended war None their warm family disgraced Death started visiting doors One above middle went home first Then slowly they all went home But dad was the last snowflake
