COLD

It will be near freezing tonight - are you cold my love?
Does a tent shield you from the harsh elements?
Do you have a warm coat or blanket?

If you were home, I would sneak into your room after you were asleep, just like I used to... and pull the covers up to your chin and whisper I love you and lay my hands on you and silently pray that you would always be safe.

If I knew you were warm, I wouldn't have to cry like I am right now.
If I knew you were safe, I wouldn't worry with every breath I take.

Dear God...please keep him warm.
