Weatherbound
Warmth shared inside the dog house
As red cheeked sisters play
Snug and safe from the snowy ground
Mischief dances like rays_
Protected from the wind and snow
Adults won't find them there
As they giggle away the hour
Secure without a care
Scarves, coats, and a Collie puppy
Heat within the shelter
A warmth based upon human love
Not on snowy weather
