Advent is a season for stillness and
Quiet discernment, when we understand
Deeply, the notion of active waiting
For Him. And then, our hearts can truly sing.
O He will come to us as ragged child,
And help us to bless, all things that are mild!
He will come to us, and like a flower
Arise from cold earth, with subtle power.
Advent is a sacred time when we find
Sanctuary, away from pressure signs,
And appreciate what life is truly
Worth; sharing our dreams with our families
And friends. It\'s a time when we gently bask
In the warm glow of firesides. When our tasks
Are over for the day, we can repose,
And consider winter\'s first, precious rose.
