In loving memory of Jim Regal

Christmas Without YouIt's going to be a sad Christmas this yearWithout your laughter and without your cheer.We'll miss the sight of you and your famous smile,For these thoughts of you are sad but in the end worthwhile.We'll think about all the Christmas's in the past,And hold to the memories that slipped so fast.For they're all we have left to remember,On this sad Christmas morning in December.We'll think about you and cherish each thought,We'll think of your smile and the happiness it brought.And as we listen to the church bells ring,Your voice will echo as the choirs sing.We can never tell you, Jimmy, how sad it will be,To spend Christmas without you here with all of us and me.We just wish you'd touch our hearts in such a way,That we could live through the pain of Christmas Day.And help us to remember that your loveIs still sent to us from Heavens above.And although you won't decorate our Christmas treeYour spirit will light the lights for us to see.Oh, we'll hear your voice in each Christmas songWe'll see your face in each child that comes along.And although our hearts will be broken and tornWe'll know you're with Jesus on this Christmas morn.No, Christmas won't be the same without your smiling faceBut we'll know you're in a much better place.We'll think of you in everything we doCause it just won't be "Christmas Without You!"Merry Christmas Jim
