Snowball

He blew in on a snowflake
One cold December Christmas week
His small dark eyes are deep
Inside his snowy little face

He is fast and furious
Chomping at the world
He is a bundle of joy
In the winter of my sorrow

Doris, I am afraid to make a guess what this is (in case it's a baby person or something) but it sounds like you are describing a cute little white dog? Great little poem! Luv, Andrea
