My First Christmas in Heaven
by Gary Iaboni
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 your tears,
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 to the choirs we have 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 and the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away; we’re really not apart.
So be happy for me, loved ones, you know I hold you dear.
Be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift from Heaven up 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 blessings or love He has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear,
remember I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
