C.J. Heck - To a Snowflake: (Children)

2014-06-12 99

Hello little snowflake!
Where are all your friends?
Should I expect a lot of them
before the morning ends?

I love it when you come to me
and you all fall down together,
and I get dressed to visit you,
toasty warm in cold, cold weather.

It’s fun the way you all pile up
outside in my back yard,
and I can roll you in a ball
to make a snowman, it’s not hard.

Or maybe, I will build a fort.
All my friends will come and play,
and if you plan to stay awhile,
I'll come outside every day.

Sometimes I make snow angels,
and their legs and arms look puffy,
but I can only do that
if you come down light and fluffy.

Could I ask you guys a favor?
White is fine, but nothing’s duller...
Could you all do one thing, just for me?
Come down in LOTS of colors?

C.J. Heck
