Echoes of Snow Silent the night Soft whispered prayer That echoes in the snow That settles as a dream Of yesterday's happiness and sorrow And future wishful uncertain Drift now in reflection Of all you have And all you have lost For we all fall as snow To settle for a moment Present and here Seeming permanence Until the thaw inevitable melts And we disappear Deliquesce to a time hence Recalled in memories that echo in the snow _____________________________ A happy and peaceful Christmas to you all. Make time for those you love...make memories you will always hold...long after the snow has melted. God bless.
