I also lost a very dear person this year and he served in the US Navy. I am very thankful for our heros. I love this poem and it is helping me get through the holidays. I hope it gives you some comfort as well.
MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I see countless Christmas Trees
around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven's star
reflecting on the snow,
The sight is so spectacular
Please wipe away that tear
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear,
but the sound of music cannot compare
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy
their 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
though I am 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 am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift from heavenly home above,
I send 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 that Jesus told.
Please love each other as The Father said to do,
For I cannot count the blessings or love HE has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear, Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.##imported-begin##Thank you for serving our country##imported-end##
