A Snowflake’s Journey

A simple snowflake small and white Fell so gracefully in the night Quiet and peaceful was the little street And I knew the next day there'd be a child to meet The next morning I woke with the wonderful news It was a snow day, the kids would say woohoo! She came out and played in the cold soft snow And there was me saying hello I played with that girl all day long She set me with the others where I belong She made us a snowman, small to hold And like that we played out in the cold Soon the day was over and I truly did know That everything ends especially snow So quietly I said good bye, as not to let her hear And finally succumbed to my greatest fear But to my surprise, that wasn't the end The next day came and my dear little friend Yet spring came fast and my time was gone I melted into that bright green lawn But unknown to me it didn't end there I seeped into the mud I guess somewhere And my journey continued, it wasn't done I still had much to do, a lot of fun I dripped down into a sea of plants and fish Yet being a snowflake was my greatest wish And again I transformed into mist this time Up high to the clouds I slowly climbed As a cloud I drifted up to the North And there I found again my worth Suddenly I felt cold once more And became a snowflake as I was before So I went through the cycle as everyone does An adventure I knew it truly was And my cycle I had to once again start And I knew a snowflake was a work of art
