Soft. Light. Cold and early
As white as white could be
His window of imagination
What did Elijah see
...
The endless freshly snowfall
It seemed like wonderland
Prefect for a snowman
Built by his own hands
...
Coldest day of winter
He did not understand
His boots, diaper and t-shirt
No match for what was at hand
...
He left his safe apartment
He left way after 3:00
He left for some adventures
As curious as could be
...
He walked out into winter
No one was there to see
He did not know the danger
Elijah was only three
