Snowflake © 2013 Sherry Bach

My eyes are open

I'm looking up to see

A precious gift given to me

If I fail, the gift disappears from sight

If I win, the gift becomes meaningful in my life

Like a snowflake, fragile

Easily torn apart

I must be worthy, careful

Not to break it all apart

Can't believe I get the chance to let it shine

Don't worry about forever it'll be here just in time

To clench my fist

Around a shooting star

Distance between us doesn't seem very far

I'll hold on, hide my heart for you

Time will tell the story of what the light will do

Like a snowflake, fragile

Easily torn apart

I must be worthy, careful

Not to break it all apart

Can't believe I get the chance to let it shine

Don't worry about forever it'll be here just in time

Glistening in the sun

But not fading

Every detail revealed

No masquerading

Like a snowflake, fragile

Easily torn apart

I must be worthy, careful

Not to break it all apart

Can't believe I get the chance to let it shine

Don't worry about forever it'll be here just in time
