A Shawl
May my poems be a downy shawl
That guards against the cold;
As peaceful as the flurries fall
That about the woodlands fold.
And May my words sustain you,
Even as a coat of fur—
Warm the soul and hope renew,
As the images occur.
And should you feel the least alone,
May my rhyme a comfort be—
My words a wrap of quietude;
Of repose and harmony.
