Snow Ghost
Behind the softest shift of snow
Beneath the winter weather
Beyond the places people go
There treads a pretty little girl
With hair of white and sparkles
And slippered feet, and hair a-curl
Then quietly stands and waves at me
That little ghost, upon my word
A friendly face you too may see
When snowflakes cover up the world.
Christmas Homecoming
I reached here earlier today,
lit our fire to guide you homeward,
I built it bright and warmly wait
The return of your footfall.
Amongst Christmas preparations
In the twilight of a year
We’ll kiss beneath the mistletoe wreath
Hang holly in the hall.
This Christmas birth, twelve days of love
One tree, one Angel dear
Our family’s arms, our human forms
One day when heaven calls.
Come in, come on, come Christmas,
How sweet the choir draws near,
How we’ll embrace and feel the grace
And learn to love us all.
