And I hope that you’ll stay til Christmas

in the rocks of my heart where you sow.

You told me in your word, in your time

but I fall when you leave in ebbing flow.

…

And no year is New Years a welcome

to repeat the bold dash in the dark,

and no day is goodness abounding.

Without you the angels don’t “Hark”.

…

Silent nights don’t comfort me…

…

And I hope that you’ll stay til Christmas

in the rocks of my heart where you sow

cause what sense does it make without you

and I fall when you leave so please don’t go

…

Silent nights don’t comfort me.

Lights and tinsel on a tree

wont save me from this feeling, no.

…

And I hope that you fill up my heart

like the child fast asleep in the hay.

You told me in your word in your time

but i fall when you leave so please stay.

The downward facing heart must contend with fallen Earth’s brutal scavengers and Heavens downcast host. It’s a fight that can’t be won with a gaze turned down from the son. God grant me my work and my food and perhaps most importantly, if it speaks of the direction of my hearts gaze, my mood. And God bless you reader. Look now! There’s a squirrel on your bird feeder! Just kidding Ethel! Cheers to all!
