Cold breath fills a deserted lane
Frost climbs high on the windowpane
You bring soup through the icy wind
Letting life re-begin within
Hands reach out with a trembling plea
Hope stirs faint in the ones you see
Your kind smile thaws what grief had sealed
Turning numbness into shield
Flames revive in a tender glimmer
Strength returns in the softest shimmer
Happiness glows through your evergreen inner—
Love stays warm in a warmth that outlives every winter
