~little Snowflake~ Poem by Ray Lucero

A star of snow fell one cold night
Firstborn of that Christmas Season
Perfect, unique, all swathed in white
To be a part of winter was his reason


The tiny star did not question fate
Although amidst a billion others
He did his very best to acclimate
Alongside his sisters n' brothers


Harsh storms came n' went
The little snowflake was in awe
At long last the storms were spent
All welcomed back spring thaw


The melting star cried out with glee
"Hooray! I'll be returning to the sea"
