    ok so i'm not entirely sure if i have done this right but i gave it a go, let me know if its wrong.

    Family (sedoka)

    Warmth and happiness
    Trustworthy, special people
    Friends who will always be there

    Strong relationships
    Their bonds are unbreakable
    Loyalty means everything.

    Snowflakes

    Have you ever seen
    Snowflakes dancing to the ground?
    Lost in dreams of tomorrow?

    Speaking graciously,
    They fall to the ground, dancing,
    Waiting to be accepted.

    Rain

    Have you ever seen
    Rain glisten in deathly sun?
    Sparkling for tomorrow.

    Crying out to hear
    What tomorrow left behind;
    Forgotten, they sing of time.
