My First Christmas in Heaven

The following is a beautiful poem that was given to my family this year.

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending 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 up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, you know I hold you dear
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear:
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
