the sweet sight
of fresh, white
snowflakes gently falling
fills the sky
the sweet scent
of heart-shaped valentine
sugar cookies
fills the house
the sweet sound
of children's voices
as they clear snow from the sidewalks
fills the air
the sweet feel
of my husband's arms
wrapped around me in a tender embrace
fills my heart
the sweet taste of hot chocolate
coats our throats
with warmth and cheer while it
fills our stomachs
but my soul remains empty
waiting for my sweet Lord
to fill the longing
that only He can fill
come quickly Lord
satisfy the ache
that keeps this hollow space wanting You
fill me with Your sweet love
Amen
