Through the Eyes of a Snowflake

I was all wet at first tumbling down
A tear from a cloud
It was getting cold but then I saw
A snowflake falling by me

My arms and legs became frozen
Twirling down spinning around and around
If I fall upon the branch of a tree
I will be able to rest comfortably

But if I fall on the road a snowplow
Will gather us all and shove us off to the side
If I fall on a car, we can all go for a ride
Until the wipers push us aside

If I fall in a river I will be whooshed away
Turning back into water drifting away
If I fall on a dog, he will shake me off
If I fall on the ground, I will melt away

Giving a fresh drink to the plants below
This one tiny snowflake putting on
A Christmas show delivering happiness
To all those watching me fall from the sky

How beautiful am I
