Christmas without you it's beyond my comprehension.
The pain it conjures up is too great to even mention.

We've been together every holiday before,
so your being gone will be difficult to ignore.

So many years of holidays together.
I thought they would go on for ever and ever.

So many unsolicited memories rush in,
as this newest Holiday season's about to begin.

Memories of times when we were content.
I never realized how much they meant.

Memories that bring a rush of emotion.
I'd have kept a journal if I'd had the slightest notion.

Without the assurance God will see me through,
this would be too difficult to do.

I'd not be able to enjoy the season,
and missing you would be my only reason.

But I've read my Bible, I know God cares.
I'll not be caught in any pitiful snares.

I know that you have no wants, needs or pain,
and someday we will be together again.

I'll lean on God as He said I should,
and find something in each day to count as good.

I'll be making memories to leave behind,
that those who I love will be able to find.

Christmas without you physically here,
but you are in our hearts now and forever dear.
