Love In The Snow

The snowman stood four feet tall With buttons for eyes and a large Red carrot for a nose, which drooped. He stood alone in a front garden Of somebody's large house. He kept his thoughts to himself as He stood motionless in the cold mid Winter as a chill wind blew from the East, though somebody put a red, white And yellow woollen hat on his head. One day, several children in the garden Opposite built another snowman. He Looked closer, no, it was a snow woman. She had two pennies as eyes and a large White parsnip for a nose, that also drooped. He looked all day at her gradually falling In love with her eyes and parsnip nose She was his ice queen, a fair maiden to behold And she, in turn looked lovingly back at him A bent twig under her nose made a wry smile. They gazed into each other's eyes as the cold Days passed. They only had eyes for each other Until one day the weather became warmer And both the snowman and snow woman Began to melt. They continued to gaze into each other's eyes As gradually they grew weaker and weaker. Slowly they melted away until all that was left Was the carrot and parsnip stranded in a Puddle that once was the sum of their parts. As each garden sloped to a central path, both Puddles flowed towards each other, until they Met in the middle and joined together as one. Their love finally united as they formed a small Sheet of ice on the path. Their love now complete. Love can take many forms but comes from the heart The look of love is never blind, and to gaze upon love Even as time passes, where lover's play their part, Is the glue that binds two lives. But Cupid from above, First has to fire straight and true that well-aimed dart.
