A snowflake floated yesterday
And I hitched a ride along the way
We glided over valleys, hills and dales
Over mountains and rivers
And boats with sails
Nothing could obstruct this joyous flight
Nothing, I thought till I saw the blight
As we drifted over villages, cities and towns
I made the mistake of looking down
The joy I had felt while in the air
Disappeared when I discovered
What was happening down there
People hating people and fighting each other
Caused my ebullient feelings to wither
What a mess they had made of their paradise
Couldn’t they just get along?
Couldn’t they just be nice?
I wondered if they need some friendly advice
From my lofty position it’s easier to see
The best course of action for you and me
Love one another and stop all the hate
Better do something before it’s too late
Be more accepting, kind
and more empathetic
Because if you don’t, you’ll soon regret it
Living in a world of upheaval and turmoil
Will cause your mind and feelings to boil
So take a deep breath and just calm down
Allow a tranquil mindset to guide you around
These feelings of concord, quietude and peace
Will soon quell those old perceptions
That once held you in place
By loving yourself and loving your friend
Conflicts, transgressions
and even wars could end
But don’t get your advice
From a snowflake rider
Better listen to a power that’s much higher
Ascending on the snowflake once again
I hoped my work here had come to an end
Love is the answer—love is all you need
I prayed my advice these people would heed
I am returned
