This Good Night
The fire burned brightly in the night
A million stars were in plain sight
The sound of conversation filled the air
A bottle of wine for friends to share
The sky was clear, the night air cold
But by the fire sat blankets to unfold
It was therapy for a cluttered mind
Where life’s anxieties could slowly unwind
Time spent with old friends well known
Who knew the secret seeds you’d sown
We’d shared each other’s joys and pains
Cheered for them when life brought gains
Wept at losses and bad news that came
And when our turn, well, they did the same
Now the smell of logs on the fire
Good food, good wine, good friends inspire
These are the moments we live for
And we pray that God give us more
‘Cause in this moment everything is right
The fire burned brightly on this good night
