I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below.
With tiny lights like heavens stars
reflecting on the snow,

the sight is so spectacular
please wipe away your tears
for i am sharing Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir here.

I have no words to tell your
the joy their voices bring
Its far beyond description
to hear the angels sing

I know how much you miss me
i see the pain within your heart
but i am not so far away
We really aren't apart

So be happy for me loved ones
you know i hold you dear
and be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year

After all `love` is the gift
more precious than pure gold
It was always more important
in the stories Jesus told

Please love and keep each other
as my Father said to do
For i can't count the blessings
or the love he has for you

So have a gentle Christmas
and wipe away those tears
for i am spending Christmas
with the Lord this year.

To Gemma

Thank you very much for the e-mail. It is not a problem lighting a candle for your Grandad. I Know from lighting candles for nearly a year now that it does help a little to know that other people know how you feel at sad times such as losing a loved one. I Hope you & your family are getting through this hard time together, Try keep your chin up & remember the good times yous all had, Love Lynn xx xx
