A Christmas Miracle
In my heart, you're not very far
This year is full of tragedy,
stuck at home, no family.
And I wish I could see,
you underneath Grandma's Christmas tree.
...
Tossing and turning in bed,
until I close my eyes and rest my head.
Then I'm taken back, like magic,
to a time less frantic,
with Grandma, and Mom, and everyone.
...
In my heart, we're around the table,
sharing stories and telling fables.
So close and so much fun;
not a person is missing, not a one.
...
Wintry blue light,
mistakes are made right,
leaving us lyrical
and hopeful a Christmas miracle,
will let you stay after tonight.
...
Bells will ring,
just like our hearts when you bring,
yourself through the door;
that's what memories are for,
once an angel takes flight.
...
In my heart, we're around the lit up tree,
unopened gifts fill us with glee.
Twinkling smiles on every face;
not a minute missed, not a thing to replace.
...
Tossing and turning in bed,
when the world feels like dread,
when I feel all alone,
like a Christmas miracle, you bring me back home.
...
For my brother Brad - I love you.
Thank you for reading.
