When is Hope Enough?

When is Hope Enough – Hybrid Image Generated with DreamStudio

Verse 1

There is hope in our warmth
while the home fire burns bright.
All snug
watching soft Autumn snow
drift through soothing moonlight.
Lady and I sing November’s cradlesong
while babies curl up to meet our gaze.
Then a good night kiss
and a wish of sweet dreams
this Eve of Thanksgiving Day.
