Nothing Like Warmth
The storm blew in with a gale force strength
It whirled and swirled winters snow
The temperature started to plunge
And ice crystals could be seen in the air
The cold chilled right down to the bone
Shaking the warmth from the very soul
Flesh would freeze in minutes if exposed
The fingers become so numb and blue
You try to find warmth within your breath
Only it seems the lungs are protesting too
The mouth starts to chatter and lips turn blue
At this point you head indoors for warmth
As the heat hits your fingers it feels prickly
The lungs recover fast and the color returns
The storm blew in with a gale force
Time to find a bed of warmth.
