Snowflakes

SNOWFLAKES Snowflakes falling silently and gently from the sky Each one unique in shape and size Like fingerprints of you and I They are all very different as they fall upon the ground As soundlessly they float to earth, they never make a sound And as I venture out of doors to marvel at the sight The sound seems hushed and tranquil As I watch with sheer delight To witness Nature’s wonder as it carpets all around It covers all the ugliness so often to be found As every surface glistens with freshly fallen snow A truly stunning sight before our footprints start to show As we awaken from our slumber We see a beautiful snow white world And gaze in awe looking through our door We start to dress in woollens galore Such a wondrous sight to behold Though the temperature outside is ice-cold The children rush to build a Snowman Adorned with hat and scarf He looks so sad they tickle him To make their Snowman laugh A carrot for his nose And boots to warm his toes Then time for bed they say goodnight But in the morning, what a fright For he has gone they don’t know where His hat and scarf still laying there He didn’t even say “Goodbye” Upset, the children start to cry But he will come again I’m sure Next time it snows, before the thaw So whilst the snow rests on the ground Enjoy the peace that can be found For very soon it will be gone So savour this winter phenomenon Contest Brian's Select E Sponsor Brian Strand
