For those of you who lost a loved one this year.....

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I SEE THE COUNTLESS CHRISTMAS TREES

AROUND THE WORLD BELOW

WITH TINY LIGHTS,LIKE HEAVEN'S STARS,

REFLECTING ON THE SNOW.

THE SIGHT IS SO SPECTACULAR,

PLEASE WIPE AWAY THE TEAR

FOR I AM SPENDING CHRISTMAS

WITH JESUS CHRIST THIS YEAR.

I HEAR THE MANY CHRISTMAS SONGS

THAT PEOPLE HOLD SO DEAR

BUT THE SOUNDS OF MUSIC CAN'T COMPARE

WITH THE CHRISTMAS CHOIR UP HERE.

I HAVE NO WORDS TO TELL YOU,

THE JOY THRIR VOICES BRING,

FOR IT IS BEYOND DESCRIPTION,

TO HEAR THE ANGELS SING.

I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MISS ME,

I SEE THE PAIN INSIDE YOUR HEART,

BUT I AM NOT SO FAR AWAY,

WE REALLY AREN'T APART.

SO BE HAPPY FOR ME, DEAR ONES,

YOU KNOW I HOLD YOU DEAR

AND BE GLAD I'M SPENDING CHRISTMAS

WITH JESUS CHRIST THIS YEAR.

I SENT YOU EACH A SPECIAL GIFT,

FROM MY HEAVENLY HOME ABOVE.

I SENT YOU EACH A MEMORY

OF MY UNDYING LOVE.

AFTER ALL, LOVE IS A GIFT MORE PRECIOUS

THAN PURE GOLD.

IT WAS ALWAYS MOST IMPORTANT

IN THE STORIES JESUS TOLD.

PLEASE LOVE AND KEEP EACH OTHER,

AS MY FATHER SAID TO DO.

FOR I CAN'T COUNT THE BLESSING OR LOVE

HE HAS FOR EACH OF YOU.

SO HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS,

AND WIPE AWAY THAT TEAR.

REMEMBER, I AM SPENDING CHRISTMAS

WITH JESUS CHRIST THIS YEAR.
