Snowflakes
They come along, frail and pretty
Beautiful in light of day
Branching beams, a complex structure
But snowflakes melt away
They seem that they’ll be here forever
A white world meant to stay
But knowledge knows their time is fleeting
Snowflakes melt away
And what at first seemed ever-pleasant
Will send people astray
With sliding wheels we all do cry
“Snowflakes, melt away!”
The heat will grow, and so the anger
No longer willing to play
And all shall smile and great the sun
When snowflakes melt away…
