One day I built a snowman.
I shimmered in the sun.
It sat around, always smiling.
Always having fun.
One day most of the snow melted,
But he was going to last.
For a mountain of snow would never melt,
Even if it went to the past.
One day the snowman was still there,
For it was built for my mom.
With it's royal hat and carrot nose,
It looked it was going to the prom.
One day my brother's friends came over,
Being crazy all around.
The took a stick and pointed at the snowman,
And knocked it to the ground.
One day the base of the snowman began to melt,
As tears filled my eyes.
Yet in my freezer near the back,
Is where it's head still lies.

A sad but true story
