I read it back in the 70's as a high school teenager, published in some long forgotten issue of a teenage magazine, and it became a very special part of the bond between my mom and I. Snowflakes became our own symbol of this bond, and we collected snowflake suncatchers, jewelry and any other thing we could find. Over the years Mom and I would often 'shake a fist at the sky for whatever melts snowflakes' together and smile as we shared a private moment of what it meant to us. My mom passed away 3 weeks ago and I miss her terribly, but I know she is in a place where snowflakes don't melt and that gives me comfort. I had lost my paper clipping of your poem and today went searching for it online, not really believing that I could be so lucky as to actually find it. I hope you don't mind, but I printed it out on her FB page so she can have it again. I just wanted to share with you how much your poem touched our lives! Thanks for sharing it with us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438126082245400687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799311497721635618.post-87068756211488308142012-03-28T17:19:02.149+01:002012-03-28T17:19:02.149+01:00i share your obsession... what does that say about...i share your obsession... what does that say about us?a quiet lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764214603632867021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799311497721635618.post-86373170536312587522012-03-22T12:36:08.304+00:002012-03-22T12:36:08.304+00:00Jeanne,

On our decent road trip I managed to capture many of these buildings and then amuse myself by making up stories about them, who lived there, where they went etc.<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed the gardens, as you say these buildings offer hope.Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799311497721635618.post-69344413275089268762012-02-27T17:47:09.046+00:002012-02-27T17:47:09.046+00:00Great shots Jeanne!

I think you picked a much better time to go than we did - we went last summer and stayed in a lovely Riad....we visited La Mamounia and I do recall the beautiful pool but the thing that sticks in my mind most is the exhorbitant price of the drinks we had there!

It perfectly expressed how I was feeling at the time...the school was Notre Dame, not Yale, the car was a Fiat Spider not an Austin America, and the boy's name wasn't Cav -- but the pain I felt at the parting was the very same. <br /><br />I googled the first few lines tonight to see if the original author was anywhere to be found. I think this poem was in a magazine, like Seventeen or something like that. <br /><br />I feel I have found a kindred spirit in you!terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6799311497721635618.post-6852756032503292912011-12-12T06:59:48.753+00:002011-12-12T06:59:48.753+00:00Very nice.

It appears beside a great Morgan belonging to friends of ours. This picture is also there and I thought it looked sort of vintage postcardish (if that is a word?) <br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/53035217@N00/sets/72157594507437714/show/<br /><br />Unfortunately the author is incorrect in stating "The Austin America was exclusive for export from the UK to the USA", in fact it was the Austin America was introduced in March 1968 - production and export to the U.S.A. began.
