HAVE YOU DECORATED YOUR TREE
My tree is clothed in dark and light
And I sit before it in the night
Remembering how, with loving care,
A child once hung those trinkets there
And though the tree seems fully dressed
Alone, I now must hang the rest
Then the tree with greater love will shine
With memories of that son of mine.
I hang the sparkle from his eyes
That shone each day with sweet surprise,
I hang a gentle heart-shaped kiss
And a glowing ball of childlike bliss.
I hang a bow of loving charms,
And a hug he once held in his arms
Now every light will hold a part
Of all the memories in my heart
For though my grief will never sleep
His heart would break, and he would weep
If we never again felt the Christmas Joy
That was so much a part of my angel boy.

Christmas Without You
Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time and over the year.
Although you can’t be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you,
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

The wrapping of your presents
Is the little thing I miss
And then on Christmas morning
That special Christmas kiss
Nothing seems to compensate
However people try
I pretend that I can handle it
But secretly I cry
Things will never be the same
Ever, ever again
Every Christmas Eve, I know
I’ll just remember when
you where here with me

Missing You Son At Christmas
Everybody’s rushing round
Full of festive cheer
But I’m finding all I want to do
At Christmas is come here
To talk to you a little while
And chat a minute or two
I can’t buy you a present
So what else can I do
Remember Son, I Love You
I’m still hurting with the pain
I don’t think it will ever stop
Until I’m with you once again
I Love You
