The Melted Snowman

The snowman melted on the lawn,

I watched the scene with a tired yawn.

The sun was warm this winter’s day,

Melting all the snow away.

Christmastime was coming soon,

I’ve been planning since early June.

I made a list for mom and dad,

I’ve been good and not bad.

A camera lens is what I’d like,

My brother said he wants a bike.

On my list, I put some other things,

Now I’ll wait to see what Christmas brings.

I glanced back out at the snow,

Still melting, though very slow.

I do prefer the summer sun,

But snowy days can be fun.

Especially at this time of year,

Snow can add to Christmas cheer.
