THE MISSING GIFT
<p>
It will soon be Christmas mama.<br>
The streets are gleaming bright.<br>
The tinsel and the mistletoe<br>
Bring yuletide into sight.<br><br>
I'm shopping now for presents mom<br>
For loved ones dear to me,<br>
But there will be one Gift Missing<br>
From beneath the Christmas tree.<br><br>
It seems that only yesterday<br>
I held your soft warm hand,<br>
And prayed with you a little prayer,<br>
And tried to understand....<br><br>
Why God would want to take you mom<br>
Away from those you love.<br>
Your children were your very life.<br>
You treasured them above....<br><br>
All the very little things<br>
This world could give to you.<br>
Dear mama, how am I to fare<br>
No mom to see me through? <br><br>
It will be a lonely Christmas<br>
Without you mama dear.<br>
The first one out of many<br>
That you shared with us while here.<br><br>
I'm thinking, since I cannot buy<br>
A gift for you from me....<br>
I'll spread a little extra love<br>
Around the Christmas tree.<br><br>
And when you gaze upon us mom<br>
From Heavens Holy Place...<br>
I think you'll like your present<br>
And a smile will light your face.
