New Year's Snowman

Well the New Year is here already,
I'm still hanging around.
The children like to run and play,
And roll snow balls on the ground.

I'll be around for quite a while,
As long as it 's cold outside.
I won't melt or go away,
And I can't run off and hide.

I'm stuck here until the weather warms,
Or someone tears me down,
But as long as I'm here,
I'll never wear a frown.

I cheer the children while out of school,
For all the Holidays.
They can have fun with me,
In so many different ways.

I'm dressed from head to toe,
In red and sparkling clothes,
With buttons for my chest,
And a gumdrop for my nose.

Raisins are placed in for my eyes,
And tiny seeds are for my mouth,
I'm all fixed up for Winter,
But I don't, can't think of going South.

I love to see them playing,
And they are kind as they can be,
And nothing is as sweet as that,
As when they show their love for me.

I feel I've made a difference,
In children's day of play,
When they come around,
And I can hear them say.

Frosty the Snowman is our friend,
We make him look just right,
He has a nice suit on,
And wears his hat so bright.

A neck tie of bright red ribbon,
Gives him the finishing touch,
But when the Winter turns to Spring,
We'll miss him Oh so much!
