Tumbled from a cloud rolled over and over and out of it's nest, floats to the earth, in so much dark yet illuminous. Landed in a tree, top of a hill, in colorful dreams of soaring, slept into the morning, until something broke the chill. Snowflake, special different from all the rest, and when you love what your doing that's when you'll do your best, with Gods help we can pass any test. With just enough light to see it listens to a distant sound, and caught a glimpse of the ocean before the sun helped it to the ground. Now a drop, it stumbled into a swift moving stream like a tobogan,flume,rollercoaster, such an ultimate adventure, one wild and crazy screaming stream. Snowflake, special different from all of the rest and when you love what you're doing that's when you'll do your best, then let God take care of the rest. It slowly flows into a river, wide ,slow, bold and free, heard so much about the ocean, learned so much, met so many, there's so much love in the sea. EARTHMAN |

Yep, snowflakes can be the most beautiful specimens! I remember some time ago, I sat outside as the snow gently fell from the sky...the flakes were so large that you could see every detail in them. It was simply breathtaking! Thank you for the memory. |

Yes, each one is different, no two are the same And only one God, no matter the name This is lovely, Paul, and crystal snowflakes are one of my favorite things in the whole world Liz |

I always like to look at each snowflake as they hit the windows, you could see each one and its individiuality! Kelly I love the male body, it's better designed than the male mind.---Andrea Newman |

We are finally getting some snow here in New England. The weather outside is frightful although the bank book could get delightful time to plow, time to plow, time to plow. |

Paul this was wonderful! Hundreds of those snowflakes Falling to the ground Each holds it's own beauty Not another like it around Each one uniquely different Like the love in each of us Each one is gently falling And renews beauty with its touch Not the best, but hey that's what ya get from the top of my head, you inspired me! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |
