the 5th Christmas – Merry Christmas from Heaven

December 24, 2010 by Wendy S

This Christmas is the 5th Christmas since my Dad passed away.  He is missed so very much.  I know he is still with me in all that I do.  There are so many times I wish I could just pick up the phone and hear his voice.

Not having my Dad here at Christmas time is especially tough. Christmas is so important to our family. Growing up my extended family was all over North America so we always traveled great distances so that we could be together.  Now the distance needed to travel is much too great.

 
 

Two years ago, I posted the poem, Christmas In Heaven, which my family read in 2005 when he first passed away.

Today I came across this poem.  I don’t think I need to explain why I’m posting it.  And I know that there will be some of you reading this who will probably cry as much as I did.

 
 

Merry Christmas from Heaven

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights.

I still share your hopes
and all your cares
I’ll even remind you
to please say all your prayers.

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd.

Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place.

You don’t have to be
perfect all the time
He forgives you the slip
if you continue to climb.

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I’m still close beside you
in a new special way.

I love you all dearly
now don’t shed a tear
cause I’m spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year.
