​

When you miss someone at Christmas...

​

 

​

It is here, the most wonderful time of the year

Full of laughter and carols, bright lights and good cheer

 

And yet for some hearts there’s an ache deep inside

Days of good cheer mixed with nights that are cried

 

When loss is a part of your life and your heart

When you know what it’s like to have dreams fall

 

When you miss someone dearly, you wish was still here

It shadows your joy and it dampens your cheer

 

It is hard in the beauty of lights all aglow

In the wonder of manger scenes, reindeer, and snow

 

When the fire is warm and the candles are bright

When the ache in your heart says- it’s still not quite right

 

How I pray in the sadness that Christmas can bring

Your heart can remember the hope of this thing

 

Though our world is broken and sadness remains

There’s a better day coming and that’s why Christ came

 

In the midst of emotions that come with Decembers

I pray there’s a part of your heart that remembers

 

The joy of your loved one, their love which still lives

The beautiful things that this season still gives

 

Someday the broken, will be made whole

The Child of Christmas will fill every hole

 

Meanwhile may yours, be the peace that world sings

In the beauty of Christmas and all that it brings

“Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level and the rough places plain.  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”  Isaiah 40:4,5 (ESV)
