The warmth
Of my
Family
Keeps me
Going…
In this
Cold,
Wintry
Weather
Of
Leigh-on-Sea.

Yet I can’t help
Thinking - about
Those bleak souls…
Somehow existing in
Broken relationships,
Suffering hardships…

Such freezing
Temperatures
Of two and
Minus two,
Don’t
Match
Up to
The coldness
Of their
Frozen
Friendships.
