Timber Koleden Poems

So long this road I have walked;
With so many strangers I have talked.
So many mountains I have climbed;
And yet one desire lingers in my mind.
...

Lay down your little weary head,
Be still now, let me tuck you into bed.
Close your eyes and hug your little ted,
Close your eyes now and let me kiss your little head.
...

May you find the light,
And see your dreams all come true.
May you love what is right,
And walk in wisdom and candor pure.
...

How am I to describe that feeling,
That a child has laughingly reeling?
Like tweeting birds on a lovely summer day?
Or like sleek otters splashing at play.
...

I'll love you when your hair turns from fair to white
And I'll love you when your frame is old and slight
I'll love you when your brow is wrinkled and creased
And I'll love you when your breath has quiet ceased
...

For time untold I blazed on high
Light 'neath my wings, I brightened thy sky
When thee walked in shadows of night
I shone o'er thee and made the blackness bright
...

The earth that is scorched with seed inside
Will bloom again in the spring.
The river that is frozen deep under ice
Will one day again forth spring.
...

Christmas time has come to be
Presents are gathered ‘round the tree
In the candlelit calm tonight
I will a present for you write
...

Through dust and ashes
Snow and coldest rains
We have tarried
Yet my love for you remains.
...

We have come all this weary way;
I could not have made it alone.
But you were by my side ev'ry day:
I love you more than you than you can know.
...
