Snowflakes
by Martin Shaw
They never ever make a sound
When they come floating to
the ground.
Unless you see them as they fall,
You'd never know they came at all.
They cover cars and houses, too,
Just like a blanket covers you.
These flakes of snow, serene
and white,
Fall silently by day and night.
