Words of Warmth

The following poem is by my friend Lalit. She shared with me her family struggles growing up and how a simple blanket she kept, gave her warmth and hope. I am humbled that we inspired her words of warmth and I would like to share them with you. Thank-you Lalit, you are one very special lady!

“Warmth from the Heart”
By Lalit Lal

A night of darkness
Cold and Wet
One shivers when the wind gets set
Frozen toes, hands and feet
Teeth clenches without any heat
As the cold wears on and on
One’s body becomes stiff and worn 
As one longs for warmth and heat
Along came Blanket BC with great speed
The lifeless body, wrapped in a bundle
Slowly, warmth has won its battle
One has reason to be alive
Through such a little blanket that shines
Blanket BC and its cause will reign
For all the individuals that will gain
A precious life is saved each time 
When Blanket BC spreads the warmth divine
