SNOW
NMP author – anonymous
I have come to know you
As a breathe of the seasons
As the constancy I look to in my life
Like your perfectly shaped crystals
That gently remind me
Me and daddy sliding down the hills
As I grew these things had gone
All the changes
All the patients, difficulties beyond for many
But I know you will continue to come every December
Your cold, beautiful snap
Will again silence me to perfect harmony
Every year
And again remind me what I know
And love
Even when everything else changes
