Have you ever realized this wonder?
That comes after rain and thunder
It's small, fuzzy and white.
Its flakes race to the Earth and you can hear
Them as they touch the ground and disappear.
As they fall down so slow
It fills you with peace although you know
That some are watching this with fear
Of the next day. And there is a tear.
They see this white dress sprinkled with red
Their hope for the future is almost dead
Only when they look up at the sky
They can forget or at least try
Just for one moment to see the white flakes fly
And land on their faces to dry
They will wash their salty tears away
And give them hope so they can prey
For the happiness of the next day.
The same hope and light will lay
On your heart and they will say:
Tomorrow will be a better day, no, the best
But only if you respond to this one request
Don't just stand there and hope it will be O.K.
Protect your beliefs and change life in your own way
we will keep coming every year
to remind you about this, oh dear

Age: still 15, Place: In front of a supermarket in same old homeland. ( Notice how I didn't ssay my homeland ;| still not sure on that one.)
Anyway I still remember the exact setting when I wrote that.
It was January and snowing. Probably even the first snow of the winter. It was enough to give us a free day off school.
I was waiting by the car while dad went into the said supermarket-like institution. It was one that got everything you need but at a cheaper price than the others. It was something that came to life after everything got much more expensive, like food and other everyday stuff. It was either because it was hard to get or just because of the fall of the currency.
I don't think I have to write much more...
