Night freeze

Outside you can feel the freeze
Temperatures below zero degrees,
Dark the night, snow lays around
Like a blanket on the ground
White and glistening in the lamp light
Another piece of natures beautiful delight.
I feel its icey touch upon my skin
Leaving me with burning feelings
As my skin turns red, and starts going numb
This winters night a homeless person's fright
It would be, on nights like this
Hard to survive the cold as it is
The pensioner, prisoner in their home
Will always fear the cold
Many sleep and never again wake
I wish everyone makes it through the cold safe
And get to see the children play
In the snow building snowmen again.
