Still Embrace of Advent

Still Embrace of Advent,
You greet us with
the Promise of Hope;
one candle lit in determination;
the early throes of expectation
that Goodness will be born again
amidst the darkness and discouragements
of our lives and world;
The Banner of Celestial Light unfurled
that we might dare believe
and Your Gift of Hope receive.
