TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
WISHING YOU MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS AND
A MOST BLESSED AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
Jingle bells, cookie smells,
Goodies on the tree,
The sights and sounds of Christmas
Are everywhere to see.
So be not sad, or wish for one
Who is no longer here,
If you but pause and think awhile
You'll find them very near.
For none is ever so far away
Our thoughts can't set them free
To speed their way 'cross miles or time
To join us here in memory.
I don't believe that anyone
Is ever truly gone,
For all it takes is just one thought,
To bring their memory home.
So friend, if you've ever wondered
What if she or he were here,
All needs to be done is think of them,
And suddenly, they're near.
So Christmas then, or Christmas now,
Even Christmas not yet here,
Your thoughts and memories have the power
To bring your loved ones near.
Just close your eyes and think of them
And in your mind you'll see,
All the ones you've ever loved
Around your Christmas tree.

Dedicated to My Mom and Dad
My Uncle Joe, who went home last week
and all of our loved ones
who are no longer here to celebrate with us,
but are looking down on us
and are with us in our beautiful memories.
Christmas Love... Jackie
