Snowflakes of memories land on the hair
Silvering temples with hoar-frost of pain
Lips are half-open, thirsty for air
Stiff rigid hands are gripping the cane
Springtime youth blossom suddenly gone
Kisses and hugs and first big losses
Bright sunny smiles, whispers at dawn
March hand in hand with treacherous gossip
Flashback of life sharpens all senses
Adds little zip to present and past
Just step ahead - return has no chances
None's timeproof, 'cause dice have been cast
Snowflakes of love cover the ground
Tear the heart, but no one's to blame
Look, all turned water, sorrows got drowned
Leaving afloat luck, joy and fame...
