Nightfall






Nightfall


When logs glow warm in the fire
And Mama in a rocker sews
Children yawn, begin to tire
Slide warm socks o’er chilly toes
With cider brewing in a pot
And sugar cookies nice and hot
Drink it in
Little ones
These are memories that smile

When the coals burn red and deep
And twinkling lights flicker low
Children reluctant to go to sleep
Until they’ve seen new snow
Eager for the early day
The hallowed birth to celebrate
Drink it in
Little ones

These are memories that smile
