Come inside and escape these icy winds,
That chases you down like a pack of wild dogs,
Seek shelter from their wrath,
And rest beside the fire,
Try to get a little sleep,
But the icy wind is unforgiving,
And blows the embers into the snow,
Like a child blows out his birthday candle,
The family is back at the house,
Waiting for you to come home,
But the icy wind nips at your legs as you try to return,
You agree to give up and submit to the cold,
Hoping that one day that you will rest next to the fire again,
But that is only a memory now.

Is it just me, or is this picture on a lot of Christmas poems?
