Christmas Thoughts
Though I’m not there to be with you
my spirit fills the room.
Remember I am happy now
no longer full of gloom.
I left a void with those I love;
my soul it craved release.
I had to move on as God had asked,
so the pain in me would cease.
Often times I shed a tear,
thinking of all I lost.
Relinquishing all material wealth,
is all that it would cost.
The price so small in my mind’s eye
as the Lord embraces my being.
Sacrifice is a message instilled.
His light is all I’m seeing.
As holidays will come and go,
my love lives in your heart.
For as long as my memory lingers
we’ll never be far apart.
Think of me as if I’m there
as hard as it all seems.
I’ll be home for Christmas,
If only in my dreams.
