Snowflakes fall

One night I saw a snowflake fall,
Past memories it did recall,
And as the snow fell to the ground,
So quietly without a sound, 
I watched until a blanket made,
To glistening white brown earth did fade,
An untouched cover until the dawn,
The sun came up it was soon gone,

I thought of friendships in the past,
Seemed perfect then, though they did not last,
And family ties once meant so much, 
Now rarely do we keep in touch,
So quickly life can take a turn,
Yet slowly we do learn,
So many in life can change,
And suddenly be rearranged.

In our dreams when we do sleep,
For granted blessing thought to keep,
For same as night does turn to morn,
An untouched blanket can get torn,
The things we've taken for granted overlooked,
Ignored, rejected or misunderstood,
As melted snow turns to slush,
Relationships can turn to dust.
