Mother Of Winter

Mother Of Winter  

By Paul McCann

Mother of winter

shelter us all from hunger and cold ,

into your loving arms we enfold  

as the night falls and our hands are froze ,

out on the streets as the wild wind blows

 Mother of winter

we all need shelter sometimes you see

it could even be some poor family ,

who have fallen on hard times out there

any one of us could  need shelter.

Mother of winter

shelter us from the rain and the snow ,

shelter us from pain that we know .

shelter us from danger on the street ,

shelter us when we’ve nothing to eat .

Mother of winter

when everything is going wild   

bring us the warmth of a friendly smile  

into our minds bring us peace and love

and a miracle from God above    .
