SNOW FLAKES

The mighty tiger look amazed
As snow flakes touched his nose
And suddenly his whiskers raised
As if to strike a pose...
His eyes then looked above to see
The whole sky dazzling white,
Thus adding to the mystery
Of this new wondrous sight...

Through life he'd seen a waterfall
And trees and streams as well,
Yet now these snow flakes beat them all,
With him caught in their spell...
Now with a twinkle in his eyes,
Revitalised again,
He took the time to realise
To give thanks there and then...

Just like a child, he swiped the air,
Caught snow flakes on his paw
And saw them melt and disappear,
Thus gone forever more...
Alas, no-one to share this now,
No-one to tell this to...
All he could do was wonder how,
Just like us humans do...
