Here's a new one Brigit's Song
©2002 Fred Gosbee

As the winter days grow longer and the sun starts getting stronger
Then the bear will wake to sniff the wind and leave his cozy den.
When Orien starts to go it is then that you will know
That soon it will be Brigit's Day again.

Let your fire die down, clean the hearth and sweep the stone
Clear the darkness of the winter from your heart and soul
Spring's around the corner, she will soon be here again
And Bridget is here to rekindle the flame

This season is a blessing, it's the time of year for resting
Most thankful is the mother with a new babe at her breast
In just a few short weeks comes the time of sowing seeds
Then months of work until the time for harvest

At his forge the blacksmith stands, with the skill that he commands-
Transforming iron ingots into tools of strength and grace
In his hand the hammer rings, in his heart he hears her sing
A joyful song which helps him know his place

Many people in these days from the earth have been estranged
In their cities and their suburbs natures cycles are ignored
But the healing will begin if they only turn within
And listen in their hearts for Brigit's word
