Christmas lights sparkle
Ornaments shine
Rudolph’s nose so red
Have I gone blind?
Tears no longer blur
My memories of you
Why, this Christmas
Do I feel joy too?
The past few years
Without you here
Felt like I was drowning
My heart ached so real.
Everything I see
And, everything I do
A Christmas gift of memories
Of the years spent with you.
Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad
