Hearthfire

As Christmas nears
            peace on earth is far, far away,
mirth and joy are in short supply,
and faith and trust are in need of repair …


At times like this we crave candle and flame.
            We’ve built a fire to share;
                        old fallen logs new Hope ignite …
                                    we’re saving you a chair.
