Christmas

Seasons come and seasons go,
A Christmas carol,
and the snow of fleecy white.
We light a candle in the night,
to watch it glow...

A song to sing, remembering,
a time when we were young,
without a care...
A gentle feeling in the air.

Friends and family,
to celebrate with cheer.
A time for giving...
wishing you were here.

And looking, once again,
to the New Year,
the candle flickers with a breath...
and we see the child.

And somehow, we just know...
He is here.

Season's Greetings, 2019
