Christmas Was Yours
The Legacy You Left Us
“Peace on earth will come to stay, when we live Christmas every day.” – Helen Steiner Rice
Christmas was yours
With the smell
Of Biscotti’s filling the
Air
And Spaghetti Sauce
Simmering on the stove.
~~~~~~
Christmas was yours
With Carols being played
On the Organ while
Lights glistened
On the tree.
~~~~~~
Christmas was yours
The greatest gift
Was always the faith
That brought you
To your knees
Before bed
Every night that
I remember
And family
Your greatest treasure.
~~~~~~
Christmas was yours
With that smile
Speaking more
Than a million words
Ever could.
~~~~~~~
Christmas was yours
The legacy you left
Us.
