Christmas without Momma

It was a year ago today that my Momma went into the hospital for a obstructed bowel and never came home. This is a poem my Mommom gave me I felt needed to be posted.

"My First Christmas in Heaven"

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

but the sounds of music can't 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

but I am not 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'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.

I sent 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 Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do

for I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
