Near the Singing
Near the Singing
Christmas is coming
Christmas is near
Near the wintergreen tree
Near his fearful dreams
Dreams of hope
Dreams of peace
Peace and quiet
Peace to men
Men who rage
Men who try
Try to smile
Try to be
Be not noble
Be secure
Secure the latches
Secure the heart
Heart beats fast
Heart and Soul
Soul is reeling
Soul is healing
Healing the past
Healing Christmas
Christmas break
Christmas time
Time to wonder
Time to start over
Over coffee
Over-ly sweet
Sweet embrace
Sweet retreat
Retreat from the past
Retreat to the now
Now is here
Now is how
How we fix
How we own
Own the fear
Own the love
Love you small child
Love you small love
Love you heartache
Love you dear
Dear to me
Dear compassion
Compassion is the church bells ringing
Compassion is the children singing
Singing of a wintry Christmas
Singing carols bittersweet
Bittersweet . . .
Christmas . . .
