Precious memories tug at my heart,
On this peaceful Christmas Eve Night,
Happy thoughts of days gone by,
In the sparkle of tinsel and lights.
The echo of children’s voices
Their laughter the sweetest sound!
Rosy cheeks and dancing eyes
Knowing old Saint Nick was around.
The Christmas tree, the stockings,
Family and friends in good cheer,
Some of them we only saw
That one special night of the year!
But time slipped by so quickly it seems,
The children have left the nest.
They’ve become Christmas visitors now,
The ones I love the best!
It’s quiet here, but peaceful too,
And though memories bring me joy
There’s nothing like the child in my arms…
My wonderful son’s little boy!
His eyes aglow with Christmas lights,
We read his favourite story.
And Christmas is pure magic again
With Grammy in her glory!
