Bring Me Snow

 

I summoned the stars

in the dead of night,

I told them all about my plight.

About the time, when it used to snow

and how my heart would really glow.

 

How it swirled around

as it fell to the ground,

how it covered my world

without a sound.

 

The men we made

and the angels laid,

the balls we threw

as a motley crew.

 

The icicle lollies,

the prickly hollies,

the icing sugar trees

painting a breeze.

 

The sledges we rode,

the crunch as I strode,

the hurting cold

I never told.

 

I begged the stars

to ask the sky,

to bring me snow

so I could fly.
