Christmas Lives in the Heart

Christmas Lives in the Heart

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Christmas Lives in the Heart

 

Joy fills the air

With a little more care.

Hearts are lighter,

And spirits brighter.

 

Boys and girls awaiting Christmas Morn,

When wrapping paper will be enthusiastically torn.

Sitting beneath the tree, their eyes wide,

Christmas lives in the heart, with gifts stacked high.

 

Music fills malls with cheer

Of the greatest time of year.

Loved ones are in mind,

And the best gifts to find.

 

Though, some are filled with sorrow,

Wishing last Christmas could be borrowed.

For loved ones are with us no longer,

Christmas lives in the heart stronger.

 

Lift your heart and smile

As they are with you all the while.

The joy of Christmas can still be felt

As memories are forever kept.

 

Let your spirit sing,

As peace it will bring.

Know that your loved ones will be a part,

As Christmas Lives in the heart.

Christmas time with family and friends and all the treats and pinching of cheeks, but never forgotten on in life. Very nice my dear. Peace out and Merry Christmas to all and good night.

I believe Christmas traipses through the heart while residing joyfully in our souls. Our Christmases hold mem'ries of loved ones with whom we have held our Christmases dear. We can only thank God for Christmas past and look forward brightly to Christmas future. And thank God for both. take care...dan

Yes, I agree.
Sounds just like most homes with children Christmas morning. I like to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus ...myself. Valentine

Yeah. Some Christians don't celebrate Christmas, saying it's a "pagan holiday"... that it's not real.. read more
