The day the Snow came!
-
NB: It was a truly special day 🙂
The day the Snow came!
The sky up high
Was thick and grey
The world around
So cold and pained…Full of chill,
And a hint of sorrow…
Not just from the cold,
But from the shattered surroundings…Yet amongst this sorrow
This pain and chill
A miracle happened
Something unexpectedIt started with a speck
A single stain of white
And as it drifted down,
A feeling of change overwhelmed,Soon the landscape was covered
In a strange magical white,
And as it kept falling…
It seemed… to bring hope.That the world we knew
Of ruin and rubble
Did not have to be
The only focus for us.That we could move on
If we so choose,
And that happiness… life,
Could take a turn for the betterThis was mirrored
Shown to us all,
By the joy and laughter
Within peoples yards,Men of snow,
Walls and Forts,
Puddles where war…
Had been played out in laughter.The days that followed
Removed the strange white
The world around was warmer,
But not just because of the sunshine…People who were tired
Torn and worn,
Had somehow been fixed
By the nature than had broken them.~~

Wow, what a great site.
Just heard you on Newstalk ZB and was inspired to check your site. Thank you very much. Keep it up.
I agree that you should get in touch with Kerre Woodham (kerre@newstalkzb.co.nz), send her the link to your site and you never know.
She does the Front work for Paper Plus book franchaise. You may as well send a letter to Oprah Winfrey (SERIOUSLY), after all, she has a book club too! hehe
