One winter day I told my son

Come take a walk with me

There's more to snow than you may know

 I'll show you so you'll see.

The flakes which fell on my black coat

So pretty to behold

Lingered a while before they'd melt

Because it was so cold

I pointed out how differently

Each snowflake did appear

"No two alike in this whole world!"

My wisdom he would hear

My little boy gazed at the flakes

Which on my coat did fall

And then with "pearls" he asked me this,

"Why, have you seen them all?"
