Tug on my shirt sleeve.

Pause,

and look.

Little child.

She looks up and says,

 "Papaya said you would tell me a story."

I can only smile.

Have you ever thought of the first snow flake?

We know each one is different,

but why?

The first was a tear in the cold.

Falling.

She chose to become beautiful.

This was noticed.

Each snowflake chooses their own image.

Child looks at me,

 and smiles.

"I can be a snowflake?"

Yes.
