The window doesn't fit well
A gap beneath the door
The rug is thin and threadbare
And wind blows through the floor
So Sarah lies a shivering
Her breath a silver thread
No warmth to give some comfort
She lies upon her bed
And through the frosty window
Her eyes gaze on the moon
A wish she sends to help her
To bring warmth to her room
And as her eyes are closing
In answer to her prayer
Giant paws engulf her
The massive polar bear
So soft white fur envelops
And warmth spreads through her bones
A cuddle desperate needed
No longer lies alone
And as her eyelids falter
To sleep that lasts all while
Upon a face so frozen
The remnants of a smile
