December Rain

December rain once in a while falls In a heart so warm longing to throw snowballs Job asks "Have you considered the wonder of the snow?" Each snow flake is different as the people you know Stories of folklore and rapture's pretense Conjure up scenery inside our heads Tears of joy cascade down a dreamer's face, and Sparkle by the light of the fireplace Through the window outside look to the sky Gaze at the wonder of God's Christmas night The wind waltzes dreams 'round in the air The moonshine a beacon on the flight of a prayer All y'all find solace in home from a wayworn trip Find no wrapping, ribbons or a bow on a gift A gift unwrapped that only God can snip
