It's hard without your loved ones. But we need to carry on an dog our their memories by living our best life.

Set the table with festive cheer
for all our loved ones no longer here 
Set them a plate and pour them a
Sherry 
They would want us to celebrate, to be festive and merry 

Don’t wallow in sorrow for they are not near 
Turn to your memories and hold those dear
Don’t be downhearted for those departed 
That’s not what they’d wish for or what they wanted. 
Celebrate life, celebrate living,
Embrace each other and be forgiving 

So as we celebrate Xmas together this year 
Let’s raise our glasses to those not here. 
Their spirit and memory is locked in our heart
And for that very reason never apart.
