Snow Cover
Nobody's home,
and no one's left the church light on,
beside the road
that heads on out of town.
Beyond the trees
I'll lay down on a patch of ground,
and in the night
the snow will cover me.
Come forward Spring.
Please let the flowers grow upon,
beside the road
that heads on out of town.
Beyond the trees
I'll lay below a patch of ground,
and may God's Light
welcome what's left of me.
