Christmas in Heaven
Back in December, 1998, my mom passed away 6 days before Christmas and that Sunday, the following poem appeared in our church bulletin. Don't know who wrote it, but we found it very comforting and wanted to share it with all of you who may have lost loved ones or maybe know people who are struggling with crtical illnesses. Hope you enjoy and from our house to yours ... Merry Christmas!
***
To Loved Ones Left Behind
Christmas in Heaven
Tis Christmas in Heaven —
What a beautiful sight!
It’s my first one here
Everything is all right.
The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars;
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.
I’ve met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;
The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.
And tonight we’ll all gather;
In reverence we’ll kneel,
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is REAL.
I think of my family
That I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine.
Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,
Just love one another,
Live life to its best.
Yes, it’s Christmas in Heaven,
So, I’ve heard them say,
Yet, Christmas in Heaven
Happens every day.

That poem is especially poignant for me:
My grandfather passed away on Christmas night 1980...

Incitatus,
My mother passed away on Dec. 22...also 1980...and was buried Christmas Eve. Small world, isn't it?

My dear cousin, more like a brother to me, committed suicide three years ago this week. Thank you for the poem, Incitatus.
