Candles and Bells

BY Lisa Sculley

I see the candles burning bright,
And I remember the light
In your bright eyes...
And I miss you.

I hear the bells jingling their glad song,
And I remember the music
Of your laughter ...
And I miss you.

For every Christmas sound and smell,
There sadly, sweetly, I recall,
Some essence of you ...
And I miss you.

For every Christmas story told,
I wonder if you hear
And know....
I miss you.

And every time a small tot grins
As he hops on Santa’s big lap,
I remember Christmas’s past ...
And I miss you.

I wonder how that First Christmas will be,
When we are together at last,
And I no longer have to say,
I miss you.

And so I watch the bright candles glow,
And hear the joyous bells toll,
And know that one day...
I will no longer miss you.

Merry Christmas, Bright Eyes, I miss you.
Your Mom
Lisa Sculley
