A poem for those departed whom I miss this Christmas.

 

 


 

If only you could be with me to share my Christmas day,

 

If only I could hold your hand and a 'Merry Christmas' say.

 

If only I could see that little twinkle in your eye,

 

then one more time I'd speak this line:

 

',I'll love you 'til I die.' 

 

If only I had said it more in day's that now are gone...

 

instead of spending 'busy days' without my darling one.

 

If only you could live again I'd spend more time with you,

 

I'd give more kind and better praise for those things

 

you'd gladly do.

 

If only I had one more chance

 

to tell you what you've meant

 

but all I have is sweet recall

 

of precious moments spent.

 

So... if you are upon a star in heaven up above,

 

listen for my 'I miss you' for...

 

it's all I'm speaking  of .

This poem rings more true as we age and find those around us disappearing. The old ties are broken and never to be repaired. It's always good to try to connect to younger people so that one doesn't end up being left all alone.

This was very touching for me, because my sister just passed away last week.

Wonderful sediments Kay. I miss the family gatherings, my grandparents making a fuss. I miss the excitement of a brand new toy. I miss that "little child" that was once in all of us. I miss the smell of home-made dishes that were really made from scratch. I miss staying up late, waiting for Santa. I miss the red candy apples, where can we get a batch? I miss making a snowman and building a snowball fort that was taller than me. I miss the smell of the scent of a real Christmas tree. I miss the old songs we sang Christmas. Christmas carols, when we sang about our Savior. He made this all happen, He is the real reason we have Christmas after all. Merry Christmas Kay! Love & Blessings, John Michael
