In the quiet of a winter night,
As stars adorn the sky so bright,
A whisper of hope begins to rise,
Through the stillness, it softly flies.

Candles flicker in windows warm,
Lighting hearts through the storm,
Each flame a promise, a tender plea,
For love, for joy, for unity.

Carols echo in frosty air,
Voices lifting, a sacred prayer,
With every note, a wish is cast,
For peace on earth, to ever last.

Beneath the tree, gifts do lay,
Tokens of love on this holy day,
But the greatest gift, unseen by all,
Is hope’s embrace, standing tall.
