May I Always Be A Snowflake

May I always support my brothers,

who are falling with me.

May I always be there

to cushion their landing.

May I always love my unique shape,

and appreciate the difference of those around me.

May I shield ugliness with purity,

and transform the landscape.

May my footprint on the earth be small.

May I help quench the thirst of someone,

who is parched and broken.

May I join my brothers and melt into a river,

that helps fish thrive and runs to the sea.

May I be part of an ocean that answers to the moon and stars,

And the Heavenly Being who created us all.
