Homeward Bound

So cold is winters worry
Trepidation of the fury
Below zero trudging slurry 
Walking the cold last mile

Dodging bears and trailing wolves
Through the forest of the woods
Take my hand that you should
Walking the cold last mile 

We made it to the house with fire
Settle down, cosy smiles
If you had seen our feet in mire
Walking the cold last mile
