Dear Snowflake
A snowflake dropped from the clouds
Unto our roof it bewildered the crowd
It is so sensitive and so sweet
With a heart courageous and ready to speak
It survived the heat and the harsh weather
For it is always prepared for any situation's nether
One day, I got to meet it
And enjoyed every moment with it on the roof's cliff
We talked together whenever I had time
As we shared gossips with one another's chime
Amazing were the moments with it
For they are candles always lit
In the pathway of memories
Stored in my wall of armories
I smiled at it as I passed by
Expressing the happiness I felt with thy
Yet, as the horrible news was announced,
My smile slowly hid,
For it was about my friend; the snowflake
I rushed to where it would wake
To prove the news' fake,
But, the snowflake shook its head
Approving the news was true indeed,
I couldn't believe what I just heard,
Though it was said by my friend,
I couldn't let go and walk away,
I felt so lost and astray
The sun lighted the ground
As the tidings spread around,
Aches of sadness stroke through eyes
Allowing tears to pour with many cries,
Days are left and the news shall take place
While some ignore and others enjoy every moment in front of its face,
I can't forget so easily
For it is a friend that is sincerely
Signed on one of my pages of memory
But, I enjoy every moment I have left with it
Enduring every smile and laugh I share with it
For the news was:
" I shall melt by the end of this year and never come back,
I shan't forget every moment with you, that's a fact,
Yet again I have to leave and let go
Leaving many beloved simply go,
Remember me, for I shall never forget you,
Remember the good times, for they shall never anew...
Love you all
Sincerely,
Snowflake "
Tears shall fly with you my friend as you depart
Into the wilderness of life you shall start,
Forget me not, my friend,
Forget me not, dear snowflake....
