I check my list, review the house.
Quiet reflections of the past year
The rooms are clean, no one's about.
I shake my head to somehow clear
It's the calm before the storm.
The painful thoughts that bring the tears.
All is perfect, in it's place. Nothing seems perfect, or in its place.
One perfect night,
I seek that one perfect night,
Before that perfect day.
Before that perfect day.
Not a gift without a bow,
The gifts mean little, don't want a thing,
But a return to the peace that evening brings.
The tree is lit and glows in brilliance,
The glowing lights seem dim to me.
Coffee's ready, stands at wait
Love abounds, there is no hate.
My love is tested, yet still no hate.
One perfect night,
One perfect night?
Before that perfect day.
I seek that perfect day.
What a peaceful time of rest,
God, I ask for rest, that only you can give.
I reflect on God's great love.
God, I know your love beseeches me to live.
A gift so very precious.
You have not changed in all this time,
His son came from above.
It's me, oh Lord, seeking your love divine.
Sent one perfect night,
Please give me one perfect night of peace,
On that Perfect Day,
On that Perfect Day.
I put this together 3 Christmas Eves ago. I was in a very bad.emotional place due to a change in our family. With the New Year, I prayed for a change in MY peace, and prayers were answered.
