Christmas Without You
This Christmas isn’t quite the same
As I search and search and call out your name
This year has been hard losing you both
Even though you were ready to go
It has not been easy moving on day to day
Life isn’t as long as we want it to be anyways Especially for those we love and want to hold
As you remember their beautiful soul
Even when you can’t see them there
They are around you everywhere
One day you may hear a familiar sound
From a cardinal that comes down
Or from a whisper in the wind
I love you and I’m here
Like I’ve always been
I will always be here in your heart
Know we are never far apart
I will always be watching over you
Please hang this ornament for all to see
The love between you and me And every Christmas I will be there with you
Even though you don’t see me
In Loving Memory Of:
