The Snowman's Adventure

Limb by limb they build me

Out of crisp white snow

‘Neath the tallest fir tree

Hung with lights aglow

Piece by piece I’m growing

Ready for the world

But know not yet where I’m going

Nor do the boys and girls

I only know they’re out there

All my white snowfriends

If only I can find where

Our path starts and ends

Perhaps I’ll try to call them

I wonder if they’ll hear

Now the night has fallen

And the moon a perfect sphere

Suddenly I see it

Stretching far away

Where the earth and sky split

And night rules o’er the day

But it’s a long, long journey

And I’m just made of snow

So I have one chance only

To find my precious home

The children fast asleep now

They know not of my plan

So, if I make it somehow

I hope they’ll understand

For I too have a family

That I would like to see

And share with them my happy

Tales on christmas eve

So, on a great adventure

I embark tonight

Guided by the splendour

Of the pale moonlight

Toward another realm

Where time drifts beyond measure

And bid this last farewell

For I know it’s now, or never!
