Storybook Dollhouse: The Tale of Miniature Lives

My storybook dollhouse has only begun.

I might be a child, but I’m not that young.

I’m building the house from the ground up,

Putting items in place, each plate and cup.

My house has a living room, dining room, den,

A kitchen to eat, bedrooms to sleep, and then,

Bathrooms for bathing, a nursery for baby,

An office for working, and a playroom, maybe.

I’ve painted the walls and papered them, too.

Don’t worry, I’ve left space just for you.

The fixtures are gorgeous, the attic unique,

The basement has a door that makes a squeak.

My porch has a swing and a garden with flowers.

If I was a miniature girl, I could sit there for hours.

The windows are big; there’s even a checkered floor.

The ceilings are high. Who could ask for more?

Now I’m waiting for my romance to be real,  

All grown up, this would be more than ideal!

"Winter Snowfall," A MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL

VERSE:

Fascination in cold months.

Hopeful free-for-all,

Artistry that’s quiet,

Ice crystals, white squall. 

As a snowman melts,

Wind might break flakes apart,

But across the nighttime sky,

They look like a romantic heart.  

CHORUS:

A masterpiece of Nature’s hand

Snow crystals of chilling beauty.

Melting in your palm at once, 

To love them, a child’s duty. 

Snowfall, snowfall,

Winter snowfall.

VERSE: 

Like sand on a beach, 

Not one same design. 

The crystals are unique.

Identical flakes you won’t find.

As fingerprints of angels,

Patterns with plan inside, 

Star snowflakes are common.

Keep your eyes open wide.

 

CHORUS:

A masterpiece of Nature’s hand

Snow crystals of chilling beauty.

Melting in your palm at once, 

To love them, a child’s duty. 

Snowfall, snowfall,

Winter snowfall.

 

BRIDGE:

Largest crystals fall the farthest.

From heav’n, they did traipse. 

Such elegance and grace.

            

CHORUS:

A masterpiece of Nature’s hand,

Snow crystals of chilling beauty.

Melting in your palm at once, 

To love them, a child’s duty. 

Snowfall, snowfall,

Winter snowfall.

TAG:

Snowfall, snowfall,

Winter snowfall.
