At the Very Least, the Snow Came Down

At the very least the snow came down Two feet in front is all I could see A blanket of white has covered the ground As the trees stand layered in icicle dress I started to roll a ball of snow Quite big, I was impressed! ~ The second ball left me feeling queasy Lifting it onto the first Then rolling the last, now that was easy When I placed it on the second snow ball And as I looked around The snow continued to fall. ~ The snowman looked a little silly Yet still was like your dream I made the eyes out of two lilies The smile from ruby gems A marshmallow made the pipe With a Dogwood wood twig for a stem. ~ It was so heartfelt that day it snowed Yet fit your description of your dream You and I under the whispering clouds that glowed Building a snowman together by the stone Rattling off with giggles While singing home sweet home. ~ Such beautiful love I felt, playing in the snow The snow angel? Well that made me cry As I knew it was time to go I brought a dozen roses that day Placed them in the arms of the snowman Who is now, watching over your grave. ~ ~ By:Darren J McMurray March 3, 2009
