Candle in the window-
Can you see it, my missing one?
That little spark flickering behind the pane?
The frost makes patterns across the glass,
drawing you closer, like a moth to flame.
Jack Frost holds you close,
keeping you from me,
and even though you can hear my voice,
do you remember it?
Your memory is fading,
like the Christmas joy in my house,
I seem to forget what it’s like
to know you’re home.
I miss you,
like the the trees miss their leaves.
That light could be snuffed,
burnt out from lonesome longing.
The wind is blowing colder now,
so where can I find you?
You’re lost!
Held in the bind of time.
But, if you look
I’m sure you’ll find,
the candle in the window.
Come home for Christmas,
we miss you.
Your daughters and sons are crying for you
when they think I can’t hear.
I miss you,
my brave soul
fighting for my country.
I’m so proud of you,
my missing one.
But I miss you more.
But all I ask,
that if you can’t come home for Christmas,
please be here, by New Year’s day.
