Christmas Poem

21 years ago

I had this beautiful poem sent to me. I cry every time I read it. I want everyone else to enjoy it & I hope it helps a little bit as it did me.

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below,

With tiny lights, like heavenÂs 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 canÂt compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me; I see the pain inside your heart,

But I am not so far away, we really arenÂt apart.

So be happy for me dear one, you know I hold you dear,

And be glad IÂm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send to you a special gift from my heavenly home above,

I send to you a memory of my underlying love.

After all, "love" is the gift more precious than pure gold,

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as the Father said to do,

For I canÂt count the blessings, or the love he has for you.

So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear,

Remember, IÂm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Brycesmommy, that is a lovely poem. This must be such a difficult time for you to be without your little one. I hope you have family around you and that you are able to find comfort in your memories of happier times.Elspeth

ISO 'The Right Family' Christmas Poem...
Q
Comments (2)
Don't know about a poem but I found this story. Christmas with the Right Family Directions: Everyong sits in a circle, holding the gift he/she brought for the gift exchange/grab bag. Someone reads the story below, reading slowly enough for gifts to be passed. Every time the word RIGHT is read, everybody passes his gift to the right. Everytime the word LEFT is read everybody passes the gift he/she is holding to the left. The gift each person is holding when the story ends is the gift he/she keeps. Christmas was almost here, and Mother RIGHT was finishing the Christmas baking. Father RIGHT, Sue RIGHT, and Billy RIGHT returned from their last-minute Christmas errands. 'There's not much LEFT to be done,' said Father RIGHT as he came into the kitchen. 'Did you leave the basket of food at church?' asked Mother RIGHT. ' I LEFT it RIGHT where you told me to,' said Father RIGHT. 'I'm glad my shopping is done,' said Billy RIGHT. 'I don't have any money LEFT.' The hall telephone rang, and Susan RIGHT LEFT to answer it. She rushed back and told the family 'Aunt Tillie RIGHT LEFT a package for us RIGHT on Grandma RIGHT's porch. I'll go over there RIGHT now and get it.' she said as she LEFT in a rush. Father RIGHT LEFT the kitchen and brought in the Christmas tree. By the time Susan RIGHT returned, Mother RIGHT, Father RIGHT, and Billy RIGHT had begun trimming the tree. The entire RIGHT family sang carols as they finished the decorating. Then they LEFT all the presents arranged under the tree and went to bed, hoping they had selected the RIGHT gifts for their family. Now I hope you have the RIGHT present for yourself, because that's all that's LEFT of our story.....except to with you a Merry Christmas....Isn't that RIGHT?
