“Christmas in Heaven”
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear,
Because I’m spending Christmas day with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can’t compare
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell the joy their beautiful voices bring,
It’s beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain in your heart,
But it’s only for a little while that we will be apart.
I’ll ask Him to light your spirit as I tell Him of your love,
So please pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
I can’t tell you of the splendor of the peace here in this place.
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
Please let you hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
I’m spending Christmas in Heaven,
And I’m walking with the King.
Merry Christmas, My Love until we meet again.
Love, Mom.
