Christmas Eve
Snow flakes shimmer,
pure whiteness everywhere.
Look, as the delicate fluff,
melts in the hand.
With it's white cloak,
snow covers everything
underneath the white tablecloth
pleasant aroma of hay
In memory of the night
when our Savior came
a star lights the way
through the white silence. . .
Only the frigid hearts
are left behind in the twilight
of those for whom he came
of those beloved by him
