CANDLELIT HEART

* * *** ** *** * *

Somewhere across the winter world tonight

You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;

CHRISTMAS EXTENDS ITS ALL-ENFOLDING LIGHT

Across the distance something that we share

*** * ***

You will be singing just the same as I

These familiar songs we know so well

And you will see these same stars in your sky

And wish upon that brightest one that fell

*** * ***

I shall remember you and trim my tree

One shining star upon the topmost bough;

I WILL HANG WREATHS OF FATE THAT ALL MAY SEE

Today I glimse beyond the hear and now

*** * ***

And all the time that we must be apart

I KEEP A CANDLE IN MY HEART
* * *** ** *** * *
