I chose this time to leave when the sun is short on cold days
When much of the world sleeps in preparation for renewal of life
When the silence begs us to reflect on gentle breezes
When Winter blankets the earth in pure and pristine white.
I chose this time amid the snow flakes’ dance
When the air is crisp and clear and we cuddle by warming fires
When the earth sleeps gathering her strength for rebirth
When the blessings of his love flow from above
I chose this time so when you remember my leaving
You will remember a day filled with promise and light
You will recall a bright day filled with promise and hope
You will see a time filled with the promise of new life
