In the whisper of the wind
as I shovel the drive
in the midst of the storm
the crackle of the fire
I long for in the fireplace
in the smile of our daughters
the warmth of their hearts
offering love for all
in those moments of grace
A smile in the azure sky
above the world of white
the stillness of my soul
when I listen for your voice
open my heart Lord
let me feel your presence
I long to feel you near me
open my eyes to your love
wrapped warm around me
