Falling snowflakes like so many tears
Piling up on the ground
If the tears that I have cried for you
Could be made into a ladder
I could easily make it up to you
A million times or more.
This holiday just wont be the same
But still I will go on
Gazing out the window, watching the snow
Slowly, slowly fall like the tear drops on my face.
Nothing and no one will ever take your place
Inside my heart youll always be
In heaven being held and rocked
This makes me happy
But I can not help but to wish it were me.
All the snowlfakes, each one unique
Just like all the precious souls God makes
You are unique my little one
So quickly you did leave me
Just like a falling snowflake
Coming so fast, then melting , leaving us so quickly.
(Melanie Christmas 2002)
Beneath the Christmas tree the presents are wrapped
The lights twinkle like shining stars
The angel sits on top of the tree
So happy I should be.
I kneel and slowly tears fall down
Tracing familiar patterns on my face
Here beneath the tree is a small empty space
Where your presents ought to be.
Warmth slowly envelopes me
Sadness quickly numbs
In heaven you are happy as can be
Celebrating Christs birth with our Savior Himself.
Softly to you I sing a Christmas carol
And feel you all around me
My precious little baby
Merry Christmas, I love you
Your Mommy!

Everything is perfect
Everything is done
Stockings are hung
Gifts are wrapped
Tree is all decorated
Lights are strung
Carols are sung
All is as it should be
But no my heart and mind cries out
My little one is not about
To be with me with this season.
I feel an empty space inside
I go through the motions of normalcy
But inside I feel like dying.
Then I feel your loving presence
And Gods hand upon my heart
I realize you are here with me
And we never did really part.
So Merry Christmas my little one
Kisses to heaven on angels wings
Sweet lullabies and Carols to you I will sing
Look down on me this Holiday Season
And know that if I cry there is a reason
I am missing you.
