The Bitter cold

The warmth of the fire penatrating by bones
Feeling very grateful to have a home
grieve for those out there all alone
shivering in the biitter cold

you know, Connie, this is so true and there is compassion in these words. I live in a very cold climate, although you'd never know it this week! But I did feel the compassion in this poem.

Zinsser - you can't know how glad I am to have stopped by to read your write. True words they are. A home to me is something special for many reasons... This is a great write and deserves to go to the top again...

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Connie, this is so sad but also soooooo beautiful, my heart goes out to all those who need a warm fire to rest aside yet I am fortunate to be close to my fire and knowing that feeling, I believe we acan all make a difference to reach out and give all these needy this warmth too! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, God Bless You and your compassionate heart! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Connie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
