I Wish

I watch the winds blowing by my window at night,

Carrying all kinds of snowflakes into the snowy mounds of white.

I watch them not knowing where they might land next.

But I know they're on a vast journey.

It's scary but so exciting at the same time.

I could only imagine if that was me.

And I could say, “It was all mine.”

All the love and togetherness the cold brought.

I’d be happy to have a place to go with others I know.

It would feel like a home in the cold.

We’d be special, coming one season a year and always bringing cheer.

I just know I’d feel like a piece of gold that was priceless, shining in the freezing snow.

I can see it now!

I’d be so happy, so loved and feel so beautiful.

So I wish I was the snow.

I could be shining all day and all night,

One season a year,

And you’d all be near.
