Winter Whispers
First Advent
Whispers
Laughing looks
The wreath
Candles red
Holding secrets
Surprises dear
Second Advent
I wonder,
Will the first candle last
We lit them for an hour
With Christmas treats to eat
Whispered plans
Secret smiles
Third Advent
The tree with
Lights to rival
The candles three
Flutters of
Flame
Quiet plans whispered
Secretly urgent
Fourth Advent
Fruit cake unveiled
Decadent flavor
The first candle
Almost a nub
Christmas is nigh
Whispering hope
Secretly strong with
Love’s sweet gift
Christmas Eve
One present each
Reflection at church
Silence whispers with
Secret charity
Give care where we can
Share what we have
Christmas Day
Whispers now shouts
Secrets no more
Wrappings abound
Love burst through out
Our house an oasis of
Love
And the Advent candles
Burn bright till they sputter
Utter faith
Peace for mankind
