Wonderstruck

When I was only four,
we made a major move.
My old home was warm and beautiful all year long,
now I was going to see the four seasons.
My first winter was coming,
each day was getting colder and colder.
Christmas would be here very soon,
I just could not wait for Santa.
On this morning I looked out the window and saw snow,
snow for the fist time and I was Wonderstruck.
I ran outside,
I wanted to feel the snow and play in it.
What a magical monument,
now to build my first snowman.
