Another year without you
With Christmas memories of all the years gone by
Sitting in my solitude to remember what it feels like not to cry
My Heart left with you as you quietly closed your eyes
To be welcomed home by all that left before you
Waiting on the other side
Do you see my bare and empty house
No tree, no lights or any bright display
To decorate my house on Christmas day
I guess this is my lot until my eyes close too
And then when Jesus comes for me
My first prayer to our Sweet Lord will be
To bring me straight to you
Ann Laurasmom,
Christmas 2006 (c)
“And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for from you shall come a ruler
who is to shepherd* my people Israel.”
Then Herod secretly called for the wise men* and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.’ When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising,* until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped,* they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road.
to honor the birth of the Lord Jesus
I've prepared a banquet just for you; the grandest of all time
Each year I hope my children will stop by to show they care
But now I see how many don't even know I'm there
I'll do anything to have you, your heart I want to win
Won't you come and celebrate, on this, my special day
My gift to you is eternal life, and I'm the only way
Running here and there to shop for things of little use
If you just sit in the silence, you'll hear me call your name
My heart is filled with mercies and I've saved you from your shame
Bring all your friends and loved ones, for the gifts I give are free
My children are all waiting for this wondrous day to come
And on my birthday It is I who gives the gifts
Because I am the Son
In Memory of My Lily in Heaven
Christmas 2006, Revised Christmas 2008
Wishing you a Christmas filled with peace and God's love,
as we celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus.
Born into this world to save us and to give us the promise of eternal life.
Let us give Him all glory and honor and praise.
A Very Merry And Blessed Christmas To All My Friends And Family
Laura and Stephen's Mom

A Special Gift that Laura left to Comfort Me
Gone out of My Life, But Never Forgotten
as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago to all of our angels.
She was sitting by the window,
Underneath the Christmas tree
(Hair all shiny, voice so tiny);
Little rocker from age three.
She was singing to her dolly
She held, oh, so tenderly;
Little mother, like one other,
Rocking Jesus, I could see:
"Rock-a-bye, now, baby Jesus.
Rock-a-bye and have sweet dreams.
Rock-a-bye my sweet and precious,
Sleeping in the moonlight beams."
What a tender, profound moment!
(She was unaware of me.)
When I saw her kiss her dolly,
I bent down upon my knees.
"Rock-a-bye, now, baby Jesus.
Rock-a-bye. You’re safe and warm.
Rock-a-bye, now, don’t You worry.
I will keep You safe from harm."
So, my prayer was silent, humble,
"Lord, in my life, let it be.
In the deepest part of my heart
Let me keep that place for Thee!"
Rock-a-bye, my precious Jesus.
Even now, the world is blind.
No more Baby, but a Savior
Living in this heart of mine!
"Rock-a-bye, now, baby Jesus.
Rock-a-bye. You’re safe and warm.
Rock-a-bye, now. Don’t You worry.
I will keep You safe from harm!"

A smile is missing when saying one name.
For parents who’ve lost a daughter or son,
Nothing can bring back the delightful fun,
Of watching them talk, laugh, or just run.
The memories are all that we do have now,
We do go on…..only God knows how.
A New Year comes as midnight arrives,
Our Angels still a big part of our lives.
If only we could trade the presents we receive,
For one more day with those whom we grieve!
But nothing can bring back our beloved child,
The one that laughed, cried, and often smiled.
They are together in a much better place,
Watching us cry…..touching our face!
Although we miss them on Holidays to share,
Be assured their loving presence fills the air,
At home, in church, at New York’s Times Square!
So celebrating the Holidays are now hard to do,
But always remember they are thinking of you too,
Wishing you happiness and showing their love,
Not on this Earth, but from Heaven above!
In Memory of his daughter, Jessica
with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell him of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.

Author's Note: "Lysandra Kay Bencke was my thirteen year oldhandicapped daughter. On Christmas day 1997, Lysandra had a seizure and
was in a coma for five days before she passed away. During those five days
I wrote the poem "Christmas in Heaven". I sent it out in belated Christmas cards
to over 100 friends and relatives that year. They have also sent it on
to other friends and relatives, thus how the poem has been changed
and the story behind it."

To my dearest family that I left behind,
I need to touch your heart tonight.
For it's Christmas and you're missing me,
And the season doesn't seem so bright.
While others are celebrating the holiday,
you find it hard to do the same.
You watch other families gather in splendor,
while you tearfully mention my name.
I know it was painful for you this year,
to decorate your Christmas tree.
For you cried as you hung each ornament.
Your thoughts were focused on me.
You shopped for presents for others.
Although you felt out of place.
When each day was over,
I could see loneliness written on your face.
You can't seem to get into the spirit.
To enjoy any festivities this year.
But think of the Christmases in the past,
and you'll feel my presence near.
Yes, and I come tonight to let you know
I'm happier than I could ever be.
I'm spending my Christmas in Heaven;
With the one who died for me.
So go out and feel that Christmas cheer.
Listen to the choirs as they sing.
And know that I'm happier than I've ever been...
Spending Christmas with the King.
My dear friend. Wanted to send you a lil gift for Christmas. Have went to you page and it is beautiful. I want to share Michael's with you. Take care and know I am here if you need me,
love you, Carol.

Jason, Our Gift From God
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change.
I keep on moving on, you know it's not the same.
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name?
Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise,
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes.
And through the good times and the bad,
We carried on with pride.
I hold onto the love and life we knew.
And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.
Thank you all so much for the beautiful graphics you've given me as special gifts for this Christmas. They are each so very lovely and such precious treasures to me. I also would like to wish everyone blessings for Christmas and although most of us will never really celebrate a Merry Christmas again, my wish is for all of my friends to have peace of heart as we honor our Lord Jesus on His day.
Thank you Maria for all that you have done for me and for everyone with your marvelous creative web designs
