Jingle bells,
cookie smells,
Goodies on
the tree,
The sights
and sounds of Christmas
Are
everywhere to see.
So be not
sad, or wish for one
Who is no
longer here,
If you but
pause and think awhile
You’ll find
them very near.
For none is
ever so far away
Our thoughts
can’t set them free
To speed
their way ‘cross miles or time
To join us
here in memory.
I don’t
believe that anyone
Is ever truly
gone,
For all it
takes is just one thought,
To bring
their memory home.
So friend, if
you’ve ever wondered
What if she
or he were here,
All needs to
be done is think of them,
And suddenly,
they’re near.
So Christmas
then, or Christmas now,
Even
Christmas not yet here,
Your thoughts
and memories have the power
To bring your
loved ones near.
Just close
your eyes and think of them
And in your
mind you’ll see,
All the ones
you’ve ever loved
Around your
Christmas tree.
