CHRISTMAS TRIBUTE

In loving memory of Shirley A. Lehere

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU

The house is filled with holly

And pine cone 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.

Staring at your picture

I long to be set free

Tonight the tears are streaming

As I hold it next to me.

So hold a place in Heaven dear

Someday when life is through

I'll be the Christmas angel

Who shares the day with you.
