WintersongBy Lee Hoedl
It enterson its dusted wings; in silence and innocence
Blanketing the Earth in all its lulled grandeur
Its gentle song risingsoftly through crisped air
Proclaiming not a season of
endings, but one of
whispered change
Of rested rebirth and of soulful journey through the Winter’s night
It is the song of anticipation
and hope,
Of gain beyond loss, of life
beyond death
It is the muted
melody welling
within the darkened
corners of Autumn
Inviting the reflection,
remembrance, and
reverence of the moment
It is the Wintersong of your life
It remains the melodic Auld Lang Syne;of friends remembered and memories
relished
It is the lyrics of Love and Grace;of family cherished and resolutions
chosen
It is the tempo of blessings and baptism;
the very heartbeat of your life
It is the Wintersong of your life
Hope against hope, it is themessage of quiet strength
Through the bleakest of season, it carols to warm the human heart
Through the bleakest of seasons, it
carols to ignite the
childlike faith
It is the dance slow in pace,but sure in measure
that announces Love is born again
In your life, in the world, it is born againAnd Spring will most assuredly have its
day
For behold, I bring I
proclaim to you good
news of great joy that will
be for all people. For today in the
city of David a savior has
been born for you who is
Messiah and Lord.
Luke 2: 10-11
It is the Wintersong of your life.
It is the Wintersong
for your life.
