All I Want for Christmas
All I Want For Christmas
I know you feel this is the first Christmas without me,
And all these Christmas decorations you can’t stand to see._
I know you keep asking God “why?”,
I also know you sometimes late at night you lay in your bed and cry.
I know this will be hard but there are some things I need you to do for me,
This Christmas do a little make-believe.
I want you to smile, when you want to cry,
I want you to live, even when you feel like you want to die.
When your heart has no song, I still want you to sing,
When your hands don’t feel like cooking,
I want to make that sweet potato pie to bring.
I want you to laugh when the kids sing Jingle Bells,
And I want you to get your Christmas cards done and mailed.
I know this seems like a lot to ask of you,
But in return this is what I will do.
I will be there to wrap my arms around you when you are down,
I will make sure you hear a joke to make you smile instead of frown.
I will help you remember the words to even the hardest Christmas song,
But most of all, I will help you understand that Heaven is where I truly belong.
So this Christmas season, I’ll still be there,
I will be the cold wind that blows you hair.
I will be in the twinkle in the lights on your Christmas tree,
I will be in the sound of the children’s voice as they sing,
And I will be in the giggle you hear when they open the gifts you bring.
I’ll be in the scent of Christmas dinner in the air,
And when you feel that special “warmth” you’ll know I am there.
So this isn’t the first Christmas without me,
Just look around and there I will be……..
