by Edward van de Vendel
Warm and sleepy and inside,
you open up the curtains wide
and see that snow is falling down.
It makes you laugh and dance around,
and now your hands and feet can't wait
to grab and stamp and throw the snow,
so out into the yard you go.
It's great!
You're the king of the cold,
and all this white belongs to you.
You know exactly what you want to do.
You make a ball that you can roll,
and as you roll, you watch it grow.
Today is your creation day,
and tomorrow on the news they'll say:
Little kid
makes a world of snow.
