we could all learn a lesson from snowflakes.
they don't focus on where they came from,
they don't know where they're going,
they're just focused on living because they're lives are so short
if they worried about where they came from,
or where they're going to end up,
they'd miss everything.
it would all zoom by and by the time they got where they were going,
they would've missed the greatest part;
getting there.
