Snowflakes ~ A Winter Poem

Snowflakes falling – drifting down,
Each one unique, now paint the town.

Coating hills and yonder grasses-
Atop the caps of lads and lasses.

Glistening crystals in the sun,
Each person stops to marvel some.

And though their nose is red and runny,
They enjoy the cold and think it’s funny!

One by one most snowflakes mound,
Pile up across the cold hard ground.

Together blend across the earth,
Uniquity, unseen – still has its worth.

But many a snowflake – lands all alone,
Revealing the unique pattern, they do own.

So pause and notice – ’cause it won’t last,
The lone snowflake – it melts so fast.

But they last long bunched up, together-
Makes winter seem to last forever!
