The warming Sun so melts the snow
To drop a tear to the ground below
Warranted thaw such drops will cause
Giving Winter a needed pause

Tiny tears then join as one
A rivulet has now begun
Without anxiousness where gravity draws
This is the way of obedient thaws

Many more join to form cool streams
These tears remembered in all our dreams
For as tomorrow seems so far away
Let tears intertwine without delay

The children are walking hand in hand
A rivulet of sorts, a stream’s demand
O how lovely to be among these tears
Many together captures fears

And kindly, gently walk beside
The tear whose woes are further cried
Because as one is drawn upon our heart
The stream to joy will surely start.
