MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see so many 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 that 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 here.

I have no words to tell you

the joy their voices bring.

 For it's beyond description

to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me.

I see pain in your heart.

And even though I'm far away,

we really aren't apart.

So be happy for me special one.

You know I hold you dear.

Be glad I'm spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year!

I'm sending you a special gift

from my heavenly home above.

I send you each a memory

of my undying love.

Please don't forget "love" is the gift

more precious than all gold.

It was always most important

in the stories God has told.

Please love and treat each other

As God has said to do.

For I cannot count the blessings

or the love He's sent for you.

So have a Merry Christmas

and wipe away that tear.

Remember that I'm spending Christmas

with Jesus Christ this year!

I had to share this beautiful poem that a friend of mine left on my doorstep.  Last year she lost her 4 year old son in a tragic sledding accident while on vacation, so please remember her and her family in your prayers too.

P.S. The author is unknown, but deserves many thanks for such beautiful, comforting words.  I did change a few of the words around so it would flow a little better for me.  (Just want to make sure I cover all copyright bases!)
