The warmth of Mother Nature’s hug
Has turned to Jack Frost’s frosty breath

I hang on for dear life
My family vanished
My friends no more
The arctic winds chill my body
Making my once attractive jade skin
Now an unsettling brown
My arms they drain
For I cannot hold on much longer
The last of my kind
I want to set an example
I want to be the hero
But I can’t
My mind has ripened
I have let my people down
But it is time
As I fall I will remember the pleasant times
When I was not alone
But I am alone
The bitter steel ground is calling me

Good-bye Mother Nature
Hello Jack Frost
