When The Snow Falls

Softly, softly,

Falling from the sky,

Covering the ground in white.

This white blanket comforts me,

While through the silent tinkling

of snowflakes, I hear your voice.

The air is whiter, thicker, and denser,

As images of you roll around my mind,

Every covered tree and Rooftop,

Creates smiles from times gone by.

I search my mind deeply;

Images of you smiling appear in

Each pretty shape.

Your spirit from wherever you are,

Falling from the sky.

I know you still care;

I've known it for over forty years;

But, you disappeared without a trace,

Without a proper goodbye;

Leaving me with a heart full of tears.

Softly, softly softly,

As they continue to fall;

I realize I'm only left with memories,

That comes alive when the snow falls.

So; despite the hurt, the pain, and the tears,

The snow withers away my sadness and deepest fears,

For, when the snow falls;

I will remember you.
