Straight On

The cold and wind hit like a stone

Unyielding, chilling, hard

At first they huddled, cringed and turned

But then one brave one

Turned and faced the pain, the cold

Chose to face the hardness

Straight on

  1. Great poetry this morning! Yes, meet the harsh and hard things head on and be brave! But Brrrr……too cold too soon for this one!!!
