Perfect Little Snowflake Poem by Haley Akin

What a perfect little snowflake
None quite the same as he
Drifting about among the clouds
Never making it back to me

I stand and watch his every move
The direction I can't command
Stretching up with all I have
Hoping he'll touch my hand

Surrounded by so many now
They float on toward the ground
A spark of hope does jolt my heart
Will he make it this time around?

I feel the cold and hear a crunch
Some snow now at my feet
Just inches away, the wind picks up
And blows him out of reach

Panicked, I extend my arms
And grasp for just one touch
Vanished now among the fall
The emotions become too much

I fall down upon my knees
The cold a painful jab
Knowing that he's gone again
I miss what I almost had…

That perfect little snowflake...
None other quite like he
A life together upon this earth
It was just not meant to be...
