By Richard Lawson

dress me warm in wool
for heaven is a snowy ride                                                 
silent snowy ride                                                                                                                                 

first stop heaven’s gate
saint peter nods, points the way
down icy gold streets

icy golden streets
birds of heaven gleam in the trees                                              
path to christmas eve

endless starry night
huddle warm merino rug
happy hearty quiet 

hot rum, pumpkin pie
heaven is a snowy ride
silent snowy ride
