Christmas Memories I remember your first Christmas, Your eyes twinkled with glee and you smiled in awe As the colored tree lights you saw. I remember the times you sat on Santa’s knee, You whispered in his ear With wishes that were dear. I remember the winter snows… No matter how cold, We found excitement playing in the snow. I remember the walks we took… The pretty houses with their lights and décor, In delight we did look. I remember the times we gathered together… Hot chocolate we savored and carols we sang, Your sweet voice was so happy to sing. I remember the priceless treasures, Your small hands, with love, had made, To father and mother you gave. I remember the Christmas past… How surprised you were, your heart filled with joy For under the tree you found gifts and toys. All I have are Christmas memories of the past, My Christmas gifts to come will be memories of you And the delight and joy you gave to me. This Christmas and Christmas’s to come, I light a candle that reflects The love you gave to us. Merry Christmas my child, I love you! © Sindy Vorderstrasse Christmas 2007 Written in memory of my beloved son Johnathan M Young 04/22/1987-08/09/2006
