Still Of The Night
New-fallen snow covers the ground
the scent of winter fills the air
children playing in the streets
living life without a care
a lonely snowman stands
proudly in the square
adults go rushing past
without noticing he is there
candles flicker in the window
like a guiding light
casting a gentle shadow
into the stillness of the night
in the distance there are church bells
that suddenly start to ring
announcing the arrival of Christmas
remembering the birth of the King.
