A Christmas Embrace by Jesse Barnes ~ The family has gathered, the room is aglow, the house wears a blanket of soft winter snow. It's an evening for carols, for gifts and good cheer, Yet something is missing for one is not here. He soon will be home, they anxiously wait, A husband, a son, to roll through the gate. The carriage approaches and stops in its place, Ending a journey with A Christmas Embrace.
