It's a week or so before Christmas
And all 'round my house
The boys are DS-ing
And Jade caught a mouse
A cold rain is falling
and blankets are out
And the soup on the stove
is bubbling about
The three little dogs
sleep snug in their shed
while eggs in the 'bator
sleep sound in their bed
And for a moment there's no worry
when money will come or go
and we're tucked in from the hurry
and the wind's frigid blow
Right now there is nothing
but family and love
and remembering a Father
who watches above
Who loved us so dearly
He gave us this earth
and even more clearly
Our Savior's birth
A message of tenderness
a gift of hope needed
that all through life's wilderness
is so rarely heeded
And Christmas will come
and we'll stand here together
and sing and be merry
in all kinds of weather
and hope to remember
that behind it all
was a mother so tender
and a Son born to fall
I love this.
