I can't send you roses <br />I've tried that once before. <br />I can't see your smilling face <br />that use to greet me at the door. <br /> <br />I can't call you on the phone <br />to wish you, Merry Christmas, and, Happy New Years too <br />I can't even mail you a card <br />I have, tried that too. <br /> <br />I can't hear the sound of your sweet voice <br />Or the children's laughter, hear. <br />While I can't understand it all <br />You seem to get, neglected every year. <br /> <br />But I can say that, 'I love you.' <br />For you are still, to me so dear. <br />But I wanted to wish you Merry Christmas <br />and wish that you were, still here. <br /> <br />Dear one, I can't seem to understand why <br />this cross that I must bear. <br />And I pray that God has blessed you <br />'Merry Christmas, ' and may God keep you in His loving care.<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-christmas-prayer-for-all-who-have-lost-a-loved-one/
