[bodytext] => First they came in twos, Dropping down from the sky, Signalling a happy time For each child’s watchful eye. Then the wind blew softly Coaxing crystal clear flakes From white, pillow-like clouds Where winter slowly awakes. Making more morning smiles Young children did arise From their comfortable beds To see snowflakes falling from skies Heavily loaded down With many a crystalline form Which seemed to dance for joy The second they were born. Could pirouettes have been Invented by these guys That tumble and twirl gracefully, Transfixing our eyes? Alas, the display did finish Too soon it must be said; Still, every cold winter’s night Children often raise their head In eager anticipation, Wishing that, perhaps it would be That very night when One more snowflake ballet they would see.
