The Wintry Love

 

They feel it when they kiss under the mistletoe,

I can tell from the way they look at each other

That they’re truly in love with each other,

Although I have to admit

 

That despite the obstacles thrown in their way,

They don’t give in to the prince of tar.

Shrouded in divine aura they overcome evil,

I have only words of praise to tell them.

 

You’re irrefutable proof

That purity isn’t just in the snow,

It’s also the color of the spiritual robe

Worn by those that worship God.

 

The hearts of ice are melting in the fire of love,

Together with you, I choose to take the path of light.

We all dance together with the perfectionist snowflakes,

In the slow rhythm of the music interpreted by the violinists.

 

A Father’s Love

 

Never fades if it’s genuine,

It heals the children’s wounds

And it’s worth more than any worldly treasure.

It’s playful in the years of our childhood,

It’s faithful to the whole family,

It helps us in the worst times of our life,

Together with Mother’s unconditional love,

It creates a powerful shield of light

That will protect us from the forces of evil.

 

A Mother’s Love

 

Is the first emotion that we feel

When we see her kind face

In the first hours of our life.

Is chasing the Boogey Man away,

Inviting the Sandman to give us sweet dreams.

Is Mary’s voice whispering in our ear

The wise advice we need to hear

In the speedy world we live in today.

Is strengthened by Father’s love,

Creating the powerful shield of light

That dispels darkness once and for all.
