Warmth

A cold winter's night

stars shining bright

Frost bite attacks;

outside in the cold

In the chilling ice fires

Thinking of somewhere soft and warm

A place to lay their weary heads

No place to go

Out in the cold

Help is what they require

To escape those ice fires

The cold so cold that burns at the touch

One blanket, just one

And a pillow to go along

A soft cloud for which to rest upon

Everyone who is freezing

Everyone who is alone

Needs a bed, a blanket

A warm utopia for rest

This cold world,

Filled with sparkling ice

Just needs one blanket

For every shivering soul

With no comfort and no sleep

No rest from winters so bleak

Just one blanket to keep warm

Just one pillow to cushion heads

Just one mattress to comfort forms

To stave off the cold

And bring hope

Hope for warmer nights

Hope for rest from their plight

Finally, they can say good night

A perfect change for the world

So simple and lovely

Is the gift of warmth

From those trembling misty nights

To those victims of frost and ice
