Notes About The Poem

Snowman

I saw the cutest snowman
with his happy icy heart
perfectly fat 
and tipping his hat
with one candles light to impart

No question his hat was of magic
and the fur of his trimmed coat was fine
but the smile he wore 
you can’t help but adore
and the art of the moment refined

Kinkade was always a favorite 
being known as the painter of light
so the art on his coat
and the scarf round his throat 
were truly a beautiful sight

Then I saw it was a series
and plays 8 different Christmas songs
I thought this is the one
where I’d say I’d begun
to really let go of the wrongs 

For me he’ll be hopes for the future 
instead of warm memories of old
my memories of that
have deflated to flat
most are just frigid and cold

But just like this icy snowman
adorned in his beautiful art
I think that it’s time 
for this cold heart of mine
to make a more meaningful start

I feel just like this snowman
to say as much is true
so I’m going to start 
to wear my art
and proudly show it to you

I’ll still be cold and frigid 
since I’m only made of snow
but my art is the part 
of my icy cold heart
that sometimes makes me glow

A fine glowing creation my friend. Everytime I think of Christmas, my first thought looks bck to my childhood when we prayed fior snow! We would brave the cold , to go outside and play, snowball fights, etc. Days long gone now, well over 50 years ago. A fav.. God bless..
