Merry Christmas My Dear Child
My dear child, I know Christmas will be hard for you this year
And the last thing you want to do is participate in the yuletide cheer
But I hope you will be able to find it in your heart
To know, that even though I will be spending Christmas in Heaven we are not far apart
From God’s Heavenly home I see the decorated trees and the twinkling of lights
I hear the laughter of loved ones and the children’s smiles that shine ever so bright
I smell the cookies that are being baked, I hear the carolers sing
And I feel the warmth that their voices bring
The things you see, you smell and you hear ~ I see, I smell and I hear them too
And that is because my dear child you are a part of me and I am still very much a part of you
The memories that were created over the years will forever be a reflection of
What my heart holds for you and that my child is my undying love
A parent’s love for their child has no beginning nor does it have an end
So at Christmas and every day of the year my love to you I send
Always remember the greatest gift that you can give to others comes from within
Because my dear child a gift to me over the years is what you have been.
