Just One Snowflake

Just One Snowflake

By R.e. Taylor

It has been a long time

But the memories are still clear

Waking up on a December morn

Squinting as your curtains opened

Just to admire a new blanket of snow

So pure and virginal, never disturbed

It was so totally beautiful

But that was many years ago

Now there is palm trees and high heat

Christmas trips to the beach

And roasting snags under the bright sun

How I pray for just one single snowflake

I watch the skies and my hopes fade

No snow again this year

God, I miss seeing just one snowflake
