The cold winds begin to blow

And pretty soon, the sky will snow

Please don’t let me stay out here

I need warmth, like you, my dear

I’m just as human as anyone

I love to sit in the shining sun

But when the sun turns much colder

And I, become, a wee bit older

Inside, away, from bitter weather

Is where I’ll feel much, much better

Author’s note:  As the colder weather makes its way in, please remember to take in your pets.  Freezing conditions for humans are unbearable.  I can’t imagine what they feel like when forgotten in the cold…
