The Snowman

The sun dawned to greet the cold,

The first snow crowned the blue

And as I waited, watching the skies

There, waiting for me, I saw you.

Steeped in joy, I rushed out

Stepped in the snow, all cold and wet

With my gloves on and the furry cap

To build our snowman, all set

You smiled at me, my cheeks turned rose

Together we started rolling the snow

Stealing a glance every now and then that

In the cold brought warmth mellow

When the snowman was all ready

With a carrot nose, a coat and a smile

We shared a look, of joy and pride

And sat in the snow, making angels for a while

The black veiled the white at night

And the sun dawned again, But now

To greet the cold inside me

Because you were gone forever, 

With only memories left to burry.

Spring broke and colours came in

But to me, it seemed as grey

The snowman melted, helpless I watched

As my tears finally found their way.

I clung to your memory as it faded

I begged the snowman to stay

But there was nothing I could do

As it melted, melted away.

Summer brought gold around and

The pool that our snowman had become

Vanished forever, without a glance

To stop, To try, I had no chance

As autumn arrived, gold turned red

No trace of you or the snowman was left

Tears now dried up, refused to flow

Everything seemed hopeless, full of sorrow

The snow had gone and so had you

The snowman, was forever gone

I was alone, with a piercing pain

You'd never ever be there again

You'd never be there again,

To hold my hand, for the warm smile

All the white winters would turn dark

For me, you'd never be there again.
