Winter a

Somewhere, 
   a bell rings - 
       a snowdrop petal falls 
         to the ground 

                   Someone wishes, 
                    a dream comes true
                     an angel, 
                     sits on top of a tree

                                  A snow globe 
                                   gets shaken and picked 
                                         out of loneliness.
                                            for a sense of renewal 

                          I believe in the stars 
                             on Christmas Eve - 
                          shine a little brighter 
                           than the night before. 

                                 Somewhere, someone 
                                   says a prayer; 
                                      on their knees-
                                   while looking up at the sky

                              I believe in doing good things;
                                  despite envy or greed- 
                                being good isn't difficult 
                                  just do what feels right. 

                                          Simple and noble, 
                                    Honest and pure - 
                                             do not let evil run your life 
                                        escape it.

I don't know how to edit, it supposed to be titled "Winter" with no "A" attached, I dropped my laptop while I hit enter. So sorry
