I AM A SNOWMAN

I am a snowman built from winter snow 
My eyes are large and round 
I like to look around 
I like to play with the people 
Who built me from the ground

I am a Snowman
Each year a new Snowman stands here,
Wide eyed at the earth 
Looking at the people who 
Made them from the snow

A new Snowman I am   
Standing tall and strong

Watery Winter Sunshine 
No! Not that, 
I feel! 

The climate change, I feel 
Standing less round and 
Closer to the ground
I yell to the children, 
Who built me from the ground 
Can I have another day? 
Can you save your Earth, 
Don’t let us melt away
