Dear Mr. Snowman

Dear Mr. Snowman,

I wonder what it's like, being made of snow.

What have you observed? What all do you know?

On warmer days you could melt 

Or be blown away by the breeze.

On colder days a blizzard could steal you away with a single icy sneeze.

Your grin is slightly crooked,

And there are twigs poked in your body.

You're not perfectly round,

And your arms look rather knobby.

The rocks all down your front

Aren't in a perfect line

And the flowers pressed to your snowy shirt

Have been blown off over time.

No, you're not perfect, Mr. Snowman, but that's how I like you to be;

Misshapen, crooked, out of place

Yes, you look great to me.

    I'm never letting go of you

    it's too late

     

    there's special love I've never felt

    and I'm feeling it

    secure in your arms

    happy with your hand in mine and our faces pressed together

  • I used to curse the snow

    I used to curse the snow

    used to fight every tradition about snow days

    in denial

    I would wake up early and get ready like I could

    prevent it from happening

    well the snow still fell

    the roads still closed

  • Fire and roses

    I was made of fire 

    before the roses blessed me

    I was made impure 

    before purity chose me like

    I was some kind of tortured angel

    I used to be bad

    the worst
