Winter Carol

Shimmering candle, warm my heart.
Shine your golden light upon my path,
   courage to impart,
And greet and comfort all those who come
   here where we belong,
For in the deep of winter night is long.

Simmering cider, warm my hand.
Take the chill from thought and breath and limb,
   weather to withstand,
And soothe the voices of all who come
   here where we belong,
For in the deep of winter there is song.

Glimmering teardrop, warm my soul.
Tell the story of the passing years,
   all that makes us whole,
And show our fondness for all who come
   here where we belong,
For in the deep of winter love is strong.
