Christmas, 2006




Christmas Without You

The lights are blinking merrily

The tinsel’s on the tree

It sits there in the window

For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly

And pinecone scents the air

The Christmas cards keep coming

Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red

And topped with pretty bows

I’m done with all the details

As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing

I think about your touch

But Christmas isn’t Christmas

I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything

My Christmas wish would be

To wake up in the morning

And find you here with me.

I reminisce our Christmas’ past

The joy and love we shared

Moonlit walks and midnight talks

And ways you showed you cared.

Staring at your picture

I long to be set free

Tonight the tears are streaming

As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air

I’m braced for stormy weather

I wait for brighter days ahead

When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven dear

Someday when life is through

I’ll be the Christmas angel

Who shares this day with you

Very nice, LC. A fitting tribute.

I've carefuly avoided reading this as i knew it would upset me.......
