We Became Friends, My Snowman And Me

I watched my snowman melt today in the sun
For a little kid like me that sure wasen\'t fun
We got to be friends while I was making him
Like he told me he wanted a hat with a brim

He asked me for a nose that was a real carrot
At night he and rabbits could nibble and share it
I gave him my old wool scarf that was wearing a bit thin
And big brown buttons I found in my mom\'s sewing tin

I used little stones to give him a big happy smile
They all fell to the ground left atop a large snow pile
He\'s melting slowly away with each sunny day
I think about him every night when I start to pray

I don\'t understand, it was all so very subtle
I lost my snowman friend to a big round puddle
