brushes past the trees, 
shaking off the light snow, 
dusting the animals below.

When the sun sets,
the stars begin to shine,
and the animals below.
sleep with no frets.

When the sun rises,
it reflects off of the snow,
glistening like glitter. 
The sun comprises,
a gentle warmth.

    Pieces of those I’ve loved, too.

    They make me who I am,

    who I strive to become.

    Deep in my heart,
