As Christmas time nears closer, It's a happy time for some. But for others it's a painful time, Filled with grief, it has become. A reminder of who's missing, The gifts you long to give. You'd give all the money in the world, To have them to spend the day with. An empty seat at the dinner table, A tear that leaves your eye. A reminder of those that you miss, And those who had to die. You may try to fake a smile, But your heart feels weighted. As this one day of the year, Feels so empty and overrated. Sometimes the best Christmas angels, Don't sit on the top of a tree. They are the ones we carry in our hearts, As they look over you and me.
