It will soon be Christmas dad
The streets are gleaming bright.
The tinsel and the mistletoe
Bring yuletide into sight.

I'm shopping now for presents dad
For loved ones dear to me,
But there will be one gift missing
From beneath the Christmas tree.

It seems that only yesterday
I held your soft warm hand,
And prayed with you a little prayer,
And tried to understand....

Why God would want to take you dad
Away from those you love.
Your children were your very life.
You treasured them with love....

All the very little things
This world could give to you.
Dear dad, how am I to fare
Without you to see me through?

It will be a lonely Christmas
Without you daddy dear.
The first one out of many
That you shared with us while here.

I'm thinking, since I cannot buy
A gift for you from me....
I'll spread a little extra love
Around the Christmas tree.

And when you gaze upon us dad
From Heavens Holy Place...
I think you'll like your present
And a smile will light your face.

To my lovely stepdad "Merry Christmas"

Try to imagine a house that's not a home
Try to imagine a christmas all alone
That's where I'll be
Since you left me

My tears would melt the snow
What can I do
Without you
I've got no place, no place to go

It'll be lonely this christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This christmas

Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to things you have to say
I just break down, as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit christmas Tree

It'll be lonely this christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This christmas

You remember that last year, when you and I were together
We never thought there'd be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that christmas must have been made
for us
Cause Son' this is the time that you really need love
When it means so very very much

It'll be lonely this christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold so cold
Without you to hold
This christmas

Merry christmas darlin', wherever you are

My Pops passed away 19th Dec 1975. was a very bleak Christmas that year. The earliest funeral available was 28th DEC but we declined that date cos was his birthday!! no way could we say goodbye to him on that day. His cremation took place on the 31st Dec 1975
So remembered with so much love our Pops and then our Mum who joined him in May 1980.
Together again which was what she wanted after he was gone. Also joined them my brother Stan 2000 and sister Jean 2001.reunited with Mum & Dads firstborn died 1931 aged 3 months

In memory of my infant son Michael, 35 years gone but the tears still flow . . . .

Christmas is a bitter day
For mothers who are poor,
The wistful eyes of children
Are daggers to endure.

Though shops are crammed with playthings
Enough for everyone.
If a mother's purse is empty
There might as well be none.

My purse is full of money
But I cannot buy a toy;
Only a wreath of holly
For the grave of my little boy.

—Earl C. Willer

Why were you taken?
It doesn't seem fair
And now there's a pain
that's so hard to bear
Especially at Christmas
a time of the year
Which is all about families
but memories are clear
And the fact is, little one, these pictures of you
Do provide consolation and help getting through
You made everyone smile, you were bright as the sun
Simply bursting with love, giving laughter and fun
So although there is sadness that we aren't together
The love you provided will last us forever

An Angel's Christmas Wish

I looked through the clouds and what did I see,
The face of my mother, and her thoughts were of me.
Her eyes filled with tears and her face looked so sad,
My wings fluttered softly and I felt so bad;
For I could do nothing to change how she felt,
Nor could I alter the hand fate had dealt.
My tears fell like raindrops, my heart felt so tight,
I lifted my face to heaven and told God of my plight,
For I can never be free just to fly,
As long as there's one lonely tear in your eye.
My years on earth were spent to please you,
And though what has happened was not my own choice,
The plan, my mother dear, came from a much higher voice.
As the birthday of our Savior and Lord draws so near,
I have a small plea I would like you to hear,
Remember me, Mom, with happiness and smiles,
And know when you do my soul will soar miles.
My wings will be light, and my heart will be free,
In the brightest sunshine is where you'll see me.
