Poem
On a cold winter’s night We sit close together By a fire, warm and snug Almost sleeping, certainly dreaming A hand-knit blanket is over us It keeps us warm As we watch the snow fall On the back patio of our home We stay for a while longer Talking without worrying No cares in the world We’re free, living our life Our lives are combined They are now one We share this life In the pleasantness of our home It’s not the house that makes it home But you my dear This home is beautiful because you’re here And we discuss this by gentle flames After a while, we’ll head off to bed I’ll actually be able to sleep Because you’ll be there beside me So we slip into bed and into a dream There’s a fire in the bedroom too Keeping us warm on this night This beautiful, snowy night We drift off into a shared dream You’re there beside me And you’re there in my dream I’m in yours as well And when we wake, there you are Oh, waking is so magical Sunlight…early, pure sunlight Pours into our room It gradually wakens us My eyes begin to open The first thing I see is your face Shining beautifully in the light And we lay there together for a moment After that moment With your frame in my arms We decide to get up Slip on our slippers Then we step outside Into the cold morning air To see the sun rising Over the mountains around our home It’s a beautiful sight But after just a short time We decide it’s too frigid And step back inside You go back to our room To spend time with God And today I decided To read while I prepare the morning meal A strange combination perhaps But, ah, what better way to start the day Than with God and with food? Than reading and cooking? Then breakfast is ready I call to our room You finished a moment before And you sit at the table I bring over our meals And we start to eat We enjoy the food As we talk about our devotions After the food is finished We read together And spend time in prayer With God and each other With the morning well underway I contemplate the plan for the day Perhaps we’ll go sledding Or go pick out a puppy I don’t know what we’ll do I’m just happy to spend time with you So we spend the day doing whatever And later, we slip into a dream once again
