In the Cold

In the Cold
There is no love
Nor compassion
In the Cold
There is no shelter from the storm
Nor from the storm of unkind words
In the Cold
There is only sorrow, pain and loneliness
And bitter darkness
In the Cold
Humanity has no dwelling
Nor even an inch for it to reside
Yet in the Warmth
We become "we"
And there is a place for "us"
In the Warmth
Our light glows for all to see
Where all are welcome
In the Warmth
There still might be aches yet someone is there
Willing to provide Care, Healing and Relief
In the Warmth
Our humanity is restored
By the hearts who recognize it
In the Warmth our source is infinite
