Do You Hear What I Hear

Through the laden branches, how it glows I wonder if they are waiting there for me? A light unlike the others I have known Is shining through a clearing in the trees I wonder if they can hear what I can hear? As the night wind whistles winter lullabies Resounding breezes sing of miracles And clouds begin to gather in the skies There is ice upon the river rushing by With frost upon the windows white as foam The windshield wipers keep rhythm of a tune And seem to chant a song of coming home I hear my heartbeat beating like a drum As the snow begins to fall to winter's song Awaken all my loved ones, here I come! My heart is back again where it belongs.... ---------------------------------------------------------------- For Kim's Contest: "Here We Come A-Caroling"
