Come winter relent let me hold her once more, <br />Let me feel all the joy that I had felt before, <br />Through the cold of December I wait here so long, <br />While these days are so empty I try to be strong, <br />As soft as a snowflake that melts in my hand, <br />And settles upon all this still frozen land, <br />I pray that the future will spare me of pain, <br />And her warm kiss shall greet me again. <br /> <br />Yet I'll never lose hope all the time she is gone, <br />Through grey skies that linger I shall carry on, <br />I don't want to wake up and face a new day, <br />When my thoughts are with her yet so far away, <br />As soft as a snowflake that melts in my hand, <br />And settles upon all this still frozen land, <br />My tears gently fall for this sorrow I feel, <br />If only my dream could be real. <br /> <br />The chill wind is blowing no sign of her yet, <br />Another day ends and I'm feeling upset, <br />The nights are the longest and so hard to bear, <br />When I close my eyes I shall picture her there, <br />As soft as a snowflake that melts in my hand, <br />And settles upon all this still frozen land, <br />I long for the springtime to bring me good cheer, <br />And the fresh breeze to carry her here. <br /> <br />Now darkness has fallen but I'll never rest, <br />As I know that with fortune I've never been blessed, <br />And sadness a shadow wherever I go, <br />That seems never ending and only does grow, <br />As soft as a snowflake that melts in my hand, <br />And settles upon all this still frozen land, <br />I wish that the clouds now would break up above, <br />And the stars guide the way to my love.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-soft-as-a-snowflake/
