Christmas

You should be here All cosy and warm in my arms Ready for Santa, magic and reindeer The tree would be up The presents all bought You would have a special Christmas plate and cup We would sing jingle bells Learn new carols everyday The house would be filled with gingerbread smells Christmas instead is cancelled here There is no joy, no peace, no excitement I cannot celebrate because you are gone my dear You won’t play in the snow No chocolate and candy canes You won’t learn how jingle bells go You won’t help with the tree Play with the lights and baubles It is put away so I can’t see Christmas will never be the same You won’t ever enjoy it with me I am left with memories, love and pain
