Russell Topping Poems

The first snow came last night like a thief
covering the ground in a death-like shroud.
The first snow melsted quietly as had my
innocence and youth.

You are there for me in times of joy and in times of pain
you sre there for me when others are not.
You see things as the way they are when I cannot
because I am too blind or simply will not.

The Best Poem Of Russell Topping

The First Snow

The first snow came last night like a thief
covering the ground in a death-like shroud.
The first snow melsted quietly as had my
innocence and youth.
So quietly, in fact that I never knew it was gone.
that's always the cse when you face life's truth.
I guess deep inside I knew it wouldn't last
because it so true that you cannot liove in the past.
