Christmas Hearts I’m sleeping No I’m just awake Lying on the couch Mary’s quilt so light So warm He covered me It’s Christmas Eve Or is it still I hear the quiet carol play Embers dozing on the hearth He had the logs ablaze When I got home tonight I worried for poor Santa
Claus He smiled at that And then we kissed
Angels we have heard on high I sang to him He kissed me twice again One eye open now Our tree Gone dark Yet tinsel strands Dance In fire’s light Across the room Hands clasped behind his
back He gazes out Our winter garden calls to
him Merry Christmas Catherine Into his warmth I lean My arms a living wreath Encircle him Is it Christmas then I ask I think so Yes He says Christmas Past is due at
one I thought to let you sleep
till then He turns and kisses me Marley’s been I sniff Pretend
Brimstone He grins Come Find a coat Your scarf And gloves Come Out Into the snow We’ll search the sky This sacred night For that one special star I’ll know it Vincent Shining Brighter New And
You Aglow Within its holy light Beauty Goodness All unconscious Humble He shakes his head Denies my words Into their place he says my
name Tells me I’m His Christmas blessing Hand in hand we step into
the snowy dark No star to seek For all have shone upon us It is enough We are Together At Christmas
Merry Christmas, H
