Blanket of White

Blanket of White

Blanket of white, cold as a stare
Cover my staple, bury my share
Probing beneath to feed my habit
One green morsel for a starving rabbit
Blanket of white, no bend nor give
Loosen your grip, that I may live

Blanket of white, frozen treasure
Liquefying to my displeasure
Once all around, no worry nor care
Now fading away like us polar bears
Blanket of white, return and strive
Cover the seas, that I may thrive

Blanket of white, velvety soft
Snuggly and cozy, time to doze off
Pulled to my chin, tucked in by Father
Comfy and toasty on a tired toddler
Blanket of white, smooth as ice cream
Swathe me secure, that I may dream
