I made a little SNOWMAN;
He had a cheery smile.
I dressed him in a hat and scarf,
then went inside a while.
A STORM came up,
the wind was fierce;
My snowman was so CHILLY!
He said he'd love to come inside,
but wouldn't that be SILLY?
I told him he was made of snow,
and though he felt BEFUDDLED,
If I agreed and brought him in,
he'd turn into a PUDDLE!
LET IT SNOW
I stand alone to greet your friends,
a smile upon my face.
Through stormy weather I stand firm
and never leave my place.
I don't go to the dentist,
though my teeth are black as coal.
My clothes are kind of skimpy
and it's chilly - Bless my soul!
My pipe's gone out, but I don't mind,
they say that smoking's dumb --
and by the way, a carrot nose
is a drier nose than some!
Sometimes it's lonely, dark and cold
and I'd love to go inside,
but things aren't always what they seem
and my wish must be denied.
The ones who made me know what's best
for a man who's made of snow.
they know I would melt quite away
if in the house I'd go!
Now listen to these words, my friends:
Your Maker knows what's best --
When your life seems cold and hard,
He'll help you pass the test.
Just stand your ground and trust in Him,
and He will see you through.
The storm has come to make you strong.
GOD KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU!
"And now, dear children, continue in Him,
so that when He appears we may be confident
and unashamed before Him at His coming." I John 2:28
Well penned!

This is beyond precious - beautifully penned!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
But all of our snowmen in Texas are melted. Doesn't get cold enough for them to just ... be. :)

These poems are really sweet!
What a closing remark in the last verse of it. It packs a whollup for Christ and His care for us. Have to read more of your poems.
Your childhood sounds similar to mine, except I was raised on a farm,
Old farmboy.

I wonder how many other people on fanstory are writing their own poem and making their own cards. So far, I know you and I did. I'll share my poem later.
Happy Holidays.
