First Scent of Christmas

The snow drifts down constantly
the year round as we trudge
forward through the storm
determined to make our way

But this time of the year
the snow falls just a bit lighter
the snowflakes glisten in the moonlight
and our work is not quite as heavy

We are all walking this road
with a different set of companions

some have found love
walking hand in hand in the frost
others walk alone
though He walks beside us all

some walk together
in a chuckling community of hikers
some clutch tightly to their best friends
determined to see the end of this road

But all seem to walk a little bit quicker
with a cheer in their step and a lightness of heart
as the November sun starts to set
and the bells ring out from the distance
