A Chance With My Snowman

If you chance to see a wandering snowman on your way home tonight Let me know. The poinsettias have started to wilt, turning dull The Christmas lights have flickered low into the night The food has lost its savor Gifts have been opened Blurry are my windows now As snow continues to hide My precious snowman from plain site. If you chance to meet My wandering snowman On your way home tonight Stop for a moment and play with him. Share a candy. Make him smile Make him a paper airplane. Make him beam and laugh. Hug and kiss him for me. Warm his heart. It's all a lost mother would ask For Christmas. If you chance to experience My wandering snowman On your way home tonight Please send him home to a warm Christmas with me. It's all that I ask.

There are loads of layered emotions here. "Snowman", perhaps, being a man frozen in his emotions and then some...or, perhaps, something more. Excellent lines. Very touching.

Interesting, before reading Monterey's comment the first word that came to mind is lovely.

This is a lovely poem. I love the image of the snowman wandering lost in the snow.
