In the Still of the Night


New-fallen snow covers the ground
the scent of winter all around
children playing in the streets
living life with their white sheets

A lovely snowman stands
proudly in the square
adults go rushing past
but notice 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 gently start to ring
announcing the arrival of Christmas

and the birth of the King.
