Shirley Lehere

In loving memory of Shirley Lehere

Christmas Without YouThe house is filled with hollyAnd pinecone scents the airThe Christmas cards keep comingEach on hung with care.The gifts are tied with ribbons redAnd topped with pretty bowsI’m done with all the detailsAs far as Christmas goes.The fire is softly glowingI think about your touchBut Christmas isn’t ChristmasI miss you oh so much.If I could have just anythingMy Christmas wish would beTo wake up in the morningAnd find you here with me.Staring at your pictureI long to be set freeTonight the tears are streamingAs I hold it next to meSo hold a place in Heaven dearSomeday when life is throughI’ll be the Christmas angel
