It was a winter night
The children watched
The snow falling to the ground
Covering it in a blanket of white
And the children began to wonder
What happens to the snow
When the sun comes up
And it is warm again?
When they asked their mother
She laughed and sent them to bed
But once they left
She began to cry
Because she missed
The feeling when everything
Was new and beautiful
Not old and corrupt
When she told her brother
He simply shook his head
Because he understood
Why she was sad
