Warmth in Winter
I’m the cold chill, sweeping
across your town, bringing
you to wrap your jacket
a tad bit tighter.
I’m a snuggled mug,
whose aroma comforts
and warmth soothes frost-
bitten fingers and hearts.
I’m the unison of a
cross and a manger that
bring victory and hope
over the darkness within.
I’m the uncommon warmth
between family members
as they pass mash potatoes
and memories at dinner.
I’m the nook in your
couch that you so easily
and gently nestle into,
You are
protected
from the
cold chill
outside.
