The Secret to Having it All is Knowing You Already Do
By: Victor J. Dougherty
Kansas City, Missouri
There is a special silence,
That comes with the falling snow.
As if every flake has a secret,
It shares only with the cold.
And still there is a part of me,
That knows this quiet song.
That falls with grace,
Like a snowflake, from heaven’s open palm.
And comes to light on ledge or leaf,
On field or freckled face,
And here I sit… amazed,
That neither is ever in the wrong place.
