Slow Motion Snow

Slow motion snow falls from the sky

I pull the covers over my eyes

Out in the hallway my youngest child cries

He comes to our room and leaves with my wife

Every day

Every day

The incoming sound of my oldest child's feet

They climb in my bed and put them on me

I roll away

I say, "Your feet freeze"

They laugh and say, "You're so warm, Dad"

And fall back asleep

Every day

Every day

Every day

Every day

Now I lie awake and thoughts fill my mind

Have I made good use of my friendships and time?

I take day by day

All you can do is try

Slow motion snow

Falls from the sky

Slow motion snow

Falls from the sky

Slow motion snow

Falls from the sky

Slow motion snow

Falls from the sky
