Stuck In a Snowglobe With You

precious power you possess
wind me up, make me spin
Christmas carols fill the air
     at your side, I skate with joy
     on a glass rink in a child’s toy

captured in this fantasy dome
idyllic village surrounds us
two hearts twirling endlessly
     red skates shiny and new
     effortlessly, I glide toward you

happiness gleams from a child’s eyes
she rocks our world
bestows sparkling snow
     flakes adorn our holiday scene
     we pirouette, forever sweet sixteen
