White little wonders

Authors note: Snowflakes are coming snowflakes are coming. I love it when it snows, when it snows outside becomes so beautiful.

Snowflakes

On Christmas Eve as snowflakes cover the mid night sky

Yet none are exactly the same

Each and everyone one of them dance from the sky

They dream to be the same.
