The winter seems bleak,
the earth as hard as stone;
the snow bellows,
and the wind howls and moans.
But hearts are kept warm
by the spirit of the season.
This time of the year,
we're all reminded of the reason
to share goodwill and joy
for with the birth of the babe
we have been given the gift
of eternal life and God's glory.
And through God's love,
it's not so difficult to see
the beauty in all things...
even in the snow and dark skies
winter brings.
