Christmas Without You

The first of many Christmas's will come without you here
I know it is the happiest time of the year
But not for our family will it be that way
For you wont be there that day

You wont be in your chair watching the kids play with thier toys
You wont be saying hay come here boys
Grandpa has a special gift just for you
An then say the same thing to the girls too

As you hug each one tight as you hand it to them
each one specialy picked as if they where rare gems
Everyone will be missing your smile
An I know it will be that way for quite a while

A beautiful heart felt poem, Nita. Christmas aren't the same when our loved ones part. Fond memories and kind reflections seem to help fill in those empty spaces. I'm sure he will watch over you and join you during moments throughout the day.:) A wonderful dedication to the grandfather. Best wishes, love, Mikki
