The main difference between snow and rain is sound
Snow falls to earth as gently as tiny bits of down
It parachutes all the way and softly hits the brakes
Upon the outstretched arms of all the other snowflakes
How long does it last, this life of a bit of snow?
Born high in the sky, as high as things can go
It must feel blessed for its unique view of all creation
As it grows in size and majesty, awaiting its coronation
It floats up and it floats down, such a thrilling ride!
But the snowflake must notice it continually subsides
And rather than come in screaming and bouncing up and down
It settles in like velvet without the slightest sound
“I am a snowflake like no other
“But then so are you, and you, and you.”
So it snuggles with its sisters and its brothers
And waits for spring to start its life anew
Merry Christmas everyone!

Awesome!
Very nice Dan! Maybe you should put that to music and sing it to us on music night opening week? "Merry Christmas" to the both of you. May the new year be better than ever!
