We Became Friends, My Snowman And Me

Eileen Clark

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

    Something magical about building a snowman and such a disappointment when the temperature changes and the melting process starts. You took me back to my childhood. What fun we had in the snow. A lovely poem and your posted image a perfect match for your words Eileen.

      Hi casssie, while I was looking for a picture on my Pinterest account for something else these images of snowmen kept popping up and they were so beautiful. It just made me want to write a poem about them, thank you for your lovely comment.
