Remembering Christmas

Wonderful Times

The lights hung everywhere

The decorations put out with care

The smell of cookies and candies

The baking and everything handy

Her eyes lit up like stars

You'd think she was on Mars

She was so happy to be

Christmas was with her family

Shopping was just so much fun

We were always on the run

Not enough time to do

All the things we had to

She would make out a list

I would give her a kiss

Tell her she was so good that year

And try to hold back my tears

I loved getting her gifts too

Everything, surprises brand new

Her eyes as big as silver dollars

Even the dogs got new collars

The house always had such joy

Every Christmas with Santa and toys

She made it so worthwhile

Just to see her huge smile

I'll miss her this year

It brings me to tears

She has my heart with her

But I know she hears every word

But the love never dies

She's in Heaven and flies

Down here on Christmas to see

If I'm still holding her dear to me
