Little Boy of Snowy Stars

I built you a magical palace

By the light of the moon

With a view of the aurora borealis

And your private hot air balloon...

And a winding crystal ice maze

Leading to a star chart

That absolutely conveys

The language of my heart.

I speak to you of forever,

And you are wildly amazed;

And I pull a magic lever,

And the world's roof is raised.

The stars careen out of sight,

And you and I are alone,

In a frost kingdom's candlelight,

Eating ice cream cones.

Little boy of snowy stars,

I bring you home to bed,

Tell you tales of red Mars,

Then kiss your soft forehead.

Good night, my dear little one,

I love you more than you know.

Rest in the land of the midnight sun,

And dream of Martian snow.
