Best Poems Written by Jack Shepherd

A Winters Heart

A crispy fire goes out
A heart as cold as a stone
A head as bitter as ice
Hands trembling and legs weeping

People struggling to gain warmth
People begging themselves to stay at peace
Peace was shared with the forest and the animals

Silence was broken, at last it was broken
A heart as cosy as snuggling up in bed
A head as warm as the love that was shared
Hands were moving and legs carrying people as they run

Snowballs were thrown
Smiles and laughter were cherished in every soul
Happiness was cheap and worth more than a fire
The people had their own flame of hope and love
