Snow

Another year went by
Oh, I need this time
To unravel like these lights
That all hang outside
We made it through just fine
Though a part has died
But up from its ashes grew a tree
With the star that lit the night
I will lie in the snow
And melt all of the cold
With the burning fire in my soul
Because nothing turns me to stone cold as the winter is
And makes me feel alright each Christmas time
And I’ll count the photos
In the hallway of my family that have passed
The stories through the evening keep us smiling
Hurts less if we can laugh
