"My First Christmas in Heaven"
I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars
reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular.
Please wipe away the 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,
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.
But I am not so far away
We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear,
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above,
of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift
more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important
In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or the love
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.....

brain tumor that he had battled
for four years. He died on
December 14, 1997.
He gave this to his Mom before he died.
His name was Ben.
