Keeping Hearts Warm

Like unfolding tents the clouds roll cold
As drifting snowflakes cover our road
We traipse with icy crunch keeping pace
Through cascading dusk the sun hides its face

Where the winter owl knows the silence of deer
We venture home to a hearth of good cheer
Where our voices will lift from the serenity outside
As the smell of chestnuts and cider abide

We sing and laugh with joy and goodness
Filled to the brim with merriment and gladness
As our hearts swell to the fire’s blaze
On this silent night of such loving grace
