And When

And when the candles are lighted And the balmy breeze blows And when the stars are sighted Where the river gently flows And the red poinsettia kiss the eyes And the holy carols are heard As if angels were still in the skies And shepherds still kept the herd And when the season of Christmas Come trolling from pagan lore Loneliness make the heart sad, alas And I miss you more and more.

Hauntingly beautiful, L'nass! Christmas can be lonely when your loved one's not around. I wish you a very Merry Christmas filled with God's blessings and a Happy, Prosperous New Year filled with all the good things you wish for yourself! Peace an love, Audrey
