CHRISTMAS TEARS
It's time for a Christmas holiday
with celebrations, laughter, and cheers.
It's a time to fill our hearts with joy,
but there are always Christmas tears.
We all have loved ones who have passed;
we think of them every night and day.
It seems they're thought of more at Christmas;
when we celebrate Jesus Christ's birthday.
We feel jubilation for Christ's coming,
but feel sorrow for our loved ones who died.
We know they are sharing our sorrow
every time that they see us cry.
Christmas brings back many memories
of the way our lives used to be.
Their deaths always leave an emptiness
when we think of those we will no longer see.
So this Christmas when memories of your
missed loved ones enter your hearts and minds,
let your sad tears become happy tears
and let us all rejoice at this Christmas time.
