"Nanny"
My comfort
When I was a newborn
You kept me warm
The feel of your arms
As they held me in
comfort
When I was a child
You bandaged my knees
The feel of your arms
As they held me in comfort
When he broke my heart
You told me time would heal
The feel of your arms
As they held me in comfort
When my children were born
You took them into your heart
The feel of your arms
As they held me in comfort
With each of your grandchildren
Your heart and eyes lit up
The feel of your arms
As they held me in comfort
When you were ready to leave me
To go to your heavenly home
The feel of your arms
As they held me in comfort
Before you closed your eyes
You told me to remember
The feel of your arms
As they held me in comfort
As you stand with Jesus
Your spirit stands with me
The feel of your arms
As they HOLD me in comfort
The Gift
The minutes of the night are counting
Only a few are left until midnight
With each tic of the clock my heart becomes heavy
How will I
face the dawn of Christmas Eve morning?
From the time I was a
small child Christmas
time for me was the Eve It was the
time even
though gifts were under my tree at home
The true magic of Christmas was when we
shared the Eve with you
The Gifts you gave thru the years the most
precious never wrapped
The way I felt each and every year
when thru your door I came
The smell of your
caramel cake, your turkey
and the ham never
has someone given the way
your heart
prepared for us
Each and every year the
magic of Christmas
shown in your eyes for you
Christmas was the
day we would all
gather around you
Your gifts each year
wrapped in
paper and bows you have kept and
treasured each and every one
You’re biggest
and best being
us sharing the Eve by your side
This year is
different so very hard for us here
With you gone were can
we find the magic
of the Eve? With each moment the
pain
becomes unbearable
We need you today,
your hugs and sweet kisses
The feel of your arms and the sweet smells
of your house Without you gifts are
not gifts
As I find the
strength to make it thru this pain
You speak to my heart a
soft sweet message
"My sweet child
the gifts I have given you all
thru these years are gifts I
knew would get you
thru when this time came
Look back over the
years; capture the feelings
of our time together
Remember the
many Eve’s we have made so special
Never loose that feeling and always know
I AM with you each and every moment
You do not see me but with each of you I
am in your hearts for there
I will never leave
My greatest gift thru
the years has been each
and every one of my
special children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and even my
great-great-
grandchildren
Do not let your hearts be heavy and
burdened this most special time of
the year,
rejoice once again for I am safe and
happy
here in Heaven The joys here are
never ending
and soon I shall see you all once
again So hold
onto me thru the good and bad and I will greet
you each with open arms
My Lord has allowed me to continue on in
spirit along beside you each and everyone
Though my
chair is empty, it shall always be filled"
