Winter's Mercy

I move through the trees Quiet as the snow I can't feel my knees But no one else can know

My back is warm My pack, heavy I hold out my arms It's hard to walk steady

The wind blows All I see is white My jacket is tightly closed If not, I'd be in flight

Suddenly I see a light I move towards it with speed It's so very bright Someone has answered my plea

I see a door It's made of wood I'm frozen to the core I wonder if I should

I open the door slowly And make my way inside A small fire burns brightly Out of happiness, I cry
