The Snowflake

The Snowflake

I fell from the clouds, all sparkling and bright,

A brand new snowflake on that cold, cold night.


But the big, bad wind blew in from the east,

And the other snowflakes fled from the beast.


But I was a baby, and I knew no better.

I played with the wind and soon grew wetter.


Alas, my sparkle melted into rain.

I dropped from the sky and fell down to the lane.


I once was a snowflake, frosty and bright.

Now I’m a droplet, a quiver in the light.
