COLD WINTER NIGHTS
Autumn is almost over. Winter will soon be here.
The nights will be wet and stormy.
Is this what you fear?
With the wind rustling through the trees
it is much more than a summer breeze.
We hear the thunder rumble and the lightening strike.
It may not be the best time to get out on your bike.
The clouds are very dark. The sun is not out.
This is what winter is all about.
For months we need to keep dry and warm
with plenty shelter out of the winter storm.
Homeless people who have nothing to keep them warm
are Just trying to get shelter out of the storm.
The temperature could drop to zero degrees
It is not surprising homeless people freeze.
How about if we all did a little bit?
We could get together and start to knit
blankets, beanies, scarves, and maybe gloves too.
This may bring the best out in you.
