Chistmas Again Without You

Mother,

Please know that you are just so missed again this year at Christmas, as much the whole year through. I know this past week you have all rejoiced and had a reunion since Pat has joined you. I wish all of you very Merry Christmas.

John

Missing You

I feel like I've just existed
Now it's been more than a year
I don't know how I've lived and breathed
Without you being here.

I know you lived your lifetime
As short as that seems to me,
But the pain in my heart is still so great,
Yet I know your spirit is free.

At times I think I hear you
The thoughts come to my mind.
I struggle for the sound of your voice,
But your voice I cannot find.

Yet you come to me in many ways
So I know you did not die,
You want to tell me that you' re close,
And to please stop asking Why.

Our lives on earth seem all too brief,
Or brief as it seems to me.
But where you are is forever,
GOD calls that Eternity !
