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.
