Each Life
By Todd F. Cope
Each life is like a snowflake,
Unique in its own way,
Sent to earth from heaven
To find a place to lay.
There it remains for a season,
The particular length unknown,
Except to Him who sent it
From the presence of His throne.
And so it is, that every one
Should be enjoyed today,
As though we’ll wake tomorrow
To find it’s melted away.
