Oh To Dream of Eating Peppermint Snowflakes
A Child's Dream
Oh, to dream of eating peppermint snowflakes
While making snow angels; gazing up at the sky
On a December afternoon as the flurries cascade
Rolling winds ripple through me; my lower lip shakes
Yet solstice sun smiles upon me; her ever-watchful eye
Oh, to dream of eating peppermint snowflakes
Up and down arms, side-to-side legs, angels displayed
Giggling while splashing a dusting into each eye
On a December afternoon as the flurries cascade
A season of candy canes; not one of tooth aches
Mother Nature treats me an endless supply
Oh to dream of eating peppermint snowflakes
Sticking out my tongue for my sweets to be paid
One after another, rewarding my peppermint high
On a December afternoon as the flurries cascade
Childhood memories for soothing heartbreaks
The stillness of winter as I let out a huge sigh
Oh to dream of eating peppermint snowflakes
On a December afternoon as the flurries cascade
