'Twas the night before Christmas, as I think of my friends.

My cards signed with love, as the day soon will end.

Reflecting on memories of a year about to close,

Your love is so precious; like a lovely red rose.

 

You listened to me talk, when I needed an ear.

You helped me to face, some of my greatest fears.

A confidant so trusting, I never had doubt.

You're comforting words, you always sent out.

 

Faith, you reminded me, to always hold tight,

And the promise of a new day, sunny and bright.

Encouraging words, coming straight from your heart.

"Tomorrow" you said, will give me a fresh start.

 

I pray God will grant you, what you've given to me.

For I'll always remember, when He answered my plea.

Merry Christmas to you, and a Happy New Year.

All the memories you gave me, I will always hold dear.
