Silent Night

A moment.

My Breath fogged up the window

A crooked smile I drew

With icy glass chilled fingertips

The Christmas lights shining through

The smile reflected in the glass

Now mirrored on my face

The snowflakes fell on the road ahead

A soft and quiet pace

Mariah sang a gentle tune

The car, a world apart

My brother slept, his silence full

A hum within my heart

My father met my mothers eyes,

His hand in hers was set,

And in that glance, the warmth of love

I won't soon forget
