The Snow-Woman's Tale

There once was a snow-woman who was really quite small
Around the size of an over-stuffed doll
She hadn't a friend to call her own
And she lived in a spot where the sun rarely shown She began to wonder if anyone cared
No one came by to see how she fared
But this all changed one fine cloudy day
When she saw a kind man coming her way
He knelt before her in the cold, white snow
Why he was there she didn't quite know
But then she saw them, the weeds in his hand
They were brown and old and not at all grand
---
But her heart nearly melted, which would have been bad
For she would have dissolved into something sad
So she merely smiled and took them from him
And her little cold heart was full to the brim.

So next time you see someone without a friend
Just remember our story and the happy end
For a weed or a smile or just a "hello"
Can warm even those made from cold snow.

Well, we got snow today but it's the fluffy kind that's not so good for snowman making.

The one on the horse backwards is my sister Morgan....she doesn't look much like she does now when she was little.
