. . .
Here in the cold
I shiver and shake
I seek shelter
Out of the cold
I see a light
Out of the dark
A place to lay
Temporary a home
Not really
A home
A home
You can cook in
Have all your things
Decorate the walls
Play video games
This is a refuge
Away from the cold
Two bowls of food
A bunk to lay
And dream of a home
