In the Chill of Winter's Breath



In the chill of winter's breath, they roam,
A homeless family, seeking a home.
Through icy streets, their weary feet tread,
Hope flickering, as darkness spreads.

With each passing day, their spirits wane,
As snowflakes fall, like tears in the rain.
Their dreams, once vibrant, now fade away,
Lost in the shadows, where hope can't stay.

The children's laughter, once filled with glee,
Now silenced by the cold, so bitterly.
Their small hands outstretched, searching for aid,
In a world where compassion seems to fade.

But amidst the frost, a flicker of light,
A beacon of warmth, shining in the night.
A stranger's heart, kind and pure,
Opens a door, offering them a cure.

A haven awaits, for this weary clan,
A shelter from winter's unforgiving hand.
A place to rest, to heal, and to grow,
A sanctuary where love will always flow.

In the chill of winter's breath, they found,
A home to cherish, safe and sound.
For in this world, where darkness may roam,
Kindness and love will always find a home.
