Jingle bells, cookie smells,
Goodies on the tree,
The sights and sounds of Christmas
Are everywhere to see.
So be not sad, or wish for one
Who is no longer here,
If you but pause and think awhile
You’ll find them very near.
For none is ever so far away
Our thoughts can’t set them free
To speed their way ‘cross miles or time
To join us here in memory.
I don’t believe that anyone
Is ever truly gone,
For all it takes is just one thought,
To bring their memory home.
So friend, if you’ve ever wondered
What if she or he were here,
All needs to be done is think of them,
And suddenly, they’re near.
So
Christmas then, or Christmas now,
Even Christmas not yet here,
Your thoughts and memories have the power
To bring your loved ones near.
Just close your eyes and think of them
And in your mind you’ll see,
All the ones you’ve ever loved
Around your Christmas tree.
This poem was sent
to me in email (Author Unknown)
by a old and dear friend who lost her father this year.
My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
I know how hard holidays are when you lose a loved one,
its been 22 years since my sister went to live with God.
Thanks for the beautiful poem

this to family and friends you know,
and God Bless!
