It snowed today, about six or so inches deep. I love snow, and as I busied myself with my outdoor merriment, I took to making little snowmen (maybe ten inches tall) and setting them around the edge of our frozen pool. As I made them, I started saying this little poem over each one, like a blessing or something. Poetry and snow: it was all magic and fun!
"I built a little snowman.
He stood so white and tall.
I fear the sun will show its face,
And I will see him fall.
Stand tall, my little snowman.
Hold off your melting tears.
And I will build you yet again
Through all the frozen years."
