Missing You in Heaven at Christmas
The lights twinkle softly through the night,
Carols whisper memories, gentle and bright—
Yet in the midst of Christmas joy,
My heart aches for you,
I hold the ornament we chose together,
Your laughter still warms the winter weather.
Each tradition, every cherished song,
Feels hollow now that you are gone.
I set a place just for you,
And I light a candle,
Snow drifts past the frosted glass,
Your presence felt as moments pass.
Above, I picture you,
Surrounded by angels,
Heaven’s choir sings where you reside,
Yet here, I long for you by my side.
I miss your smile, your loving embrace,
The gentle kindness that time can't erase.
Though Heaven claims you as its star,
My heart whispers, “You’re never far.”
Tonight, beneath the Christmas sky,
I send all my love.
Your spirit glimmers in every cheer—
I softly whisper, Merry Christmas,
As I hold you near in my heart.
