• I miss you

  Oh precious baby boy,

  How I miss you.

  This season makes me

  Miss you more.

  Because, you see,

  There should be ten stockings

  On the mantle

  Instead of just nine.

  There should be a few more

  Ornaments on the tree

  With your name on the back.

  Someone should be wrapping

  Presents for you

  Tomorrow.

  You wouldn’t be a baby

  Anymore, but a big boy

  Five and half years old.

  Would you be learning to read,

  Maybe able to read the Christmas story

  This year?

  Would you be riding a bike

  Without training wheels yet?

  What kinds of things

  Would you have asked for

  This Christmas?

  Maybe some more train tracks,

  Or a toy gun or sword?

  They say that time

  Heals all wounds

  But I say that no amount of time

  Could take away

  The hole in my heart

  That is shaped like you.

  I wonder, how do they

  Celebrate Christmas

  In heaven?
