And as the snow fell to the ground, recall/
So quietly without a sound, ground/

To glistening white - brown earth did fade.

An untouched cover until the dawn. fade/
The sun arose; it was soon gone. untouched//

I thought of friendships in the past.

Seemed perfect though they did not last.

And family ties once meant so much, ties/
Now rarely do we keep in touch. meant/

Yet slowly we do seem to learn.

So many things in life can change rearranged/
And suddenly be rearranged. slumber/

In our slumber while we do sleep,

For same as night does turn to morn, torn/
An untouched blanket can get torn, overlooked/

Don't take for granted they'll remain, unlike/
That life forever will be the same. keep in touch/

Let's be the most that we can be,
For all our friends and family.
Unlike the snowflake on the ground,
Let's keep in touch and stay around.
