The lights are blinking merrily, the tinsel’s on the tree. It sits there in the window, for all the world to see. The house is filled with holly, and pinecone scents the air. The Christmas cards keep coming; each one is hung with care. The gifts are tied with ribbons red, and topped with pretty bows. I’m done with all the details, as far as Christmas goes. The fire is softly glowing; I think about your touch. But Christmas isn’t Christmas, I miss you oh, so much. If I could have just anything; My Christmas wish would be. To wake up in the morning, and find you here with me. Staring at your picture, I long to be set free. Tonight the tears are streaming, as I hold it next to me. Flakes of snow swirl through the air, I’m braced for stormy weather. I wait for brighter days ahead, when we can be together. So hold a place in heaven; someday when life is through. I’ll be the Christmas angel, who shares this day with you. by Marilyn Ferguson Merry Christmas Grandma. I love & miss you.
