From the deep gray of the midnight fog
And the soft glow of warm breath
I stood and watched the twinkling stars
As the young and old a like both slept
Stillness was echoing through the silent dark hours
Calmness washed over me and I stood in the sweet chill
My heart was full
Of joy and burden
Yet, sweet is the joy of love
Overpowering is the feel of giving
Happiness is the result of doing
In the crystal cool air I stood a sentinel
And I felt at peace with life and all that is me
