I received a Christmas ornament with the last stanza of this poem engraved on the front and Mom's name and years of live engraved on the back. Mom died on my B-day in 07, one of about almost a dozen family, friends and retired former coworkers that passed in 07. The poem and thought to find it touched everyone at the gathering.

Keep kind thoughts and rember the happy times with those who passed before you.

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
On cold wintery nights

I still share your hopes
and all of yours cares
I’ll even remind you
To please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment
To stay in his grace
I came here before you
To help set your place

You don’t have to be perfect
All of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I’m still close beside you
In a new special way

I love you all dearly
Now don’t shed a tear
Cause I’m spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year.


To those who had a hard year, may 2008 be better,
And to those who had great years, may God bless you with another.

Happy New year to all, best of,Health, Love, and your own special dreams.
