MEMORIAL SNOWFLAKES

FOR OUR CHILDREN

Page 1 of 2

GRIEVING AULD LANG SYNE

Should all our children come back home,
And never leave again.
Should all our children come back home,
We wish it could happen.

We wish it could happen, for us,
We wish it could happen.
Should all our children come back home,
And never leave again.

EARLY SPRING

~ by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001

I feel you in the morning breeze
As it skims across my face.
I see you in the sunrise
As it brightens up this place.

I hear you in the thunder
Before the sky begins to drip.
I taste you in the raindrops
That trickle down across my lips.

I smell you in the fragrance
Of every flower that's in bloom.
But these things I just imagine
From the corners of my room.

It's winter here in my room.
There's a chill down to my bones.
It's dark, and cold, and dreary
And I feel so all alone.

The cold is a reminder
Of this frigid, frozen fear
That casts those icy shadows
Of death, and grief, and tears.

I'm hoping for the sunshine,
Fragrant breezes, thunder, rain.
But most of all I'm hoping for...
a very early spring.

When snow falls, nature listens.

~Antoinette van Kleeff

A small triangle floats from the sky.
It settles on the ground among thousands of others.
There isn't a replica of it anywhere.
Once it's gone...it's gone forever.

~ M. Kuhn

With every falling flake,
a unique spark of interest falls from heaven.

~ P. Miller

But where are the snows of yester year?

~ Francois Villon

Out of the bosom of the Air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow Descends the snow.

Author: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Snowmen fall from heaven... unassembled.

~ Author Unknown

No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place

~ Zen

Somewhere in the heavens
an angel made this delicate, flawless masterpiece.
Then the angel sent this work of art down to Earth
as a gift of beauty. ~ C. Preston

Of all sound of all bells...
most solemn and touching
is the peal which rings out the Old Year.

~ Charles Lamb

PICTURES IN THE SNOW

~ in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001

I stare out through the window
With my baby in my arms,
Singing "rock-a-bye to sleep",
Dreaming of the things to come

Street lights are shining dimly,
Halfway veiled by falling snow.
The lamps in neighbors windows
Give a soft and shadowed glow.

Cars move slowly, almost silent;
On their homeward way they go.
Sitting here in early twilight,
I see pictures in the snow.

The years move on so swiftly
Things change with passing time
These arms that held that baby
No longer hold what's mine.

More souls have journeyed onward
Casting shadows on my face.
Somewhere beyond the twilight
In that quiet and peaceful place.

Some say the hour is darkest
Just before the dawn appears.
I'm still waiting in the twilight
But my eyes are full of tears.

This loneliness surrounds me
And things sometimes look so grim.
And the hope for life that's better
Often looks so very dim.

Footprints out on the walkway.
Snow will fill them very soon.
Far away in time and distance
I hear that old familiar tune.

Spring birds will soon be singing
And flowers blooming all around.
But as I stand here in shadows
Snow still covers all the ground.

Waiting in the twilight dreaming
Of the ones I used to know.
I can almost see their faces
Among those pictures in the snow.
