TIME FOR SOME WARMTH....

~THE COLD WITHIN~

Six humans trapped by happenstance
In black and bitter cold
Each one possessed a stick of wood
Or so the story's told.

Their dying fire in need of logs,
The first woman held hers back
For the faces around the fire
She noticed one of them was black.

The next man looking cross the way
Saw one not of his church,
And couldn't bring himself to give
The first his stick of birch.

The third one sat in tattered cloths
He gave his coat a hitch.
Why should his log be put to use
To warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back and thought
Of the wealth he had in store
And how to keep what he had earned
From the lazy, shiftless poor.

The black man's face bespoke revenge
As the fire passed from his sight,
For all he saw in his stick of wood
Was a chance to spite the white.

And the last man of this forlorn group
Did naught except for gain.
Giving only to those who gave
Was how he played the game.

The logs held tight in death's still hands
Was proof of human sin.
They didn't die from the cold without
They died from the cold within.

We all hold a stick of wood...I hope we never hold it back from helping to warm another persons heart, soul or life.

I thank you all for bringing your stick and sharing it with me, you have warmed my heart and soul to a level of sweet happiness, peace, joy and sisterly comfort!

God bless each one of you!
