A Snowflake's last song.

As the snowflake in the sun evaporates away

And icicles drip into rivers that may sway

Nature sheds her winter skin

As the last remnants of snow thin

And spring awakens in a peculiar display.

Yet amidst this transformation so strange

I cannot help but feel a sense of exchange

As my mother's spirit begins to soar

Towards a distant, cosmic shore

Shaking away memories that forever range.

Like a mythical creature that emerges from a cocoon

Or a flower that sings in the light of the moon

Her life was a singing work of art

Full of whimsy chimsy, magic, and heart

A masterpiece that ended too soon.

As the snow fades away and spring takes hold

The ice that once seemed so cold

Melts away and disappears

Leaving nothing but fanciful fears

As we journey on, brave and bold.

For just as the ice must thaw and give way

To the warmth of the sun's gentle ray

So too must we accept the passing of time

And find solace in memories that forever chime

As we bid farewell to those who cannot stay.
