The Snowflake That Saved the World
There once a snowflake that fell from the heaven above
Forged of love, a kiss of God, and liberty to fly about as a dove
The snowflake had a wish to save the world
Thoughts raced through its core as it twirled
How to save the world in such a short time?
How to do away with the hate, pain, tears and crime
All I am is a snowflake she cried
Tears and tears as she cried Snowflake’s tears multiplied
The snowflake didn’t have any idea or know what to do
In time was against her and those tears as the wind blew
She cried a mass of snowflakes with intent to save the world carried by her stress
Until she thought why should I save the world when I didn’t create this mess?
Snowflake had a point after all; she was created to look gorgeous and just freefall
She wasn’t created to save the world and recall its brutal brawls
Then the idea came, she would gather her army of tears with intent
She would send a thousand tears to 1st bury the torment
Then she would send a thousand more to cause a freeze and bring people to their knees
Where they would remember that in times of need to pray for understanding, love, and
appease
Then she would send a thousand more to dissolve into water
To quench each nations power thirst and wash away the ruthless slaughter
Then she’d be the last to fall
The world would look at Snowflake as the most beautiful thing of all
She’d be viewed as hero with not one single mistake
For the world would always remember it was saved by Snowflake
