If Snowflakes Were Wishes
When the snow floats to the earth
in large fluffy flakes,
I sit at my window and think
how many fall upon the ground.
They slowly turn the earth…
to the purest softest white,
Millions I’m sure…and so silent
without the slightest sound.
If snowflakes were wishes,
I’d send them around the world,
Each would go with a hope of peace
and goodwill for everyone.
I’d try to get the people to love one another
as a family united,
And remind them of the sacrifice
God made with His Son.
This would not be a certain time of year
nor a special day;
It would just be snowflakes
turned to wishes that would bless
To stop all the hatred of our fellow man
and calm our world,
Bringing goodness back to hearts
that are laden with duress.
I can’t understand why the heart can hate
and be so unkind,
But it seems a common thing all over the world
this day and age.
No whiteness can be found
to cover all the reasons for this.
I would have my snowflakes touch gently,
removing all the rage.
So next time it snows
make your wishes for the best of worlds
As you bask in the beauty and peace
of each awesome snowfall.
Feel the peace wash over you
as you see the flakes of purest white.
In your mind send each one as a wish
for love and peace to call.
So, if snowflakes were wishes,
I’d send them around the world;
Each would go with a hope of peace
and goodwill for everyone.
Maybe, just maybe, people would start
to love and be a family united,
And be reminded of the sacrifice
God made with His Son.
