We Miss Our Beloved Chris!
Another November and December
And we all have
survived,
But it’s been sad and difficult
And we have cried and
cried.
Because another year has passed
Without our cherished
boy;
Another Thanksgiving and birthday
And Christmas without
joy!
We rang the Salvation Army bells
As a way to
celebrate
Christopher’s 19th birthday
But without a birthday
cake!
‘ Twas a time for sharing
With others in need;
A plight that
Christopher
Would always heed!
He wanted nothing more
Than for
others to be happy
That he isn’t here with us
Is very simply
crappy!!
But his life lives on
In the good things he did
And the
people he encountered;
He was indeed a special kid!
Stars shining
brightly
Remind us of his smile
And the twinkle in his eyes
That were
with him all the while.
Our Christmas tree reflected him
‘ Twas lit
with angels and stars
Presents were given in honor of him
Some close and
others went afar.
Clothe-a-Child bought new clothing
For children who were without
And
Salvation Army and Make-a-Wish
Brought happiness to others–of that, there is
no doubt.
Thus the “seeds” he planted
While he was with us
here
Continue to flourish and grow,
And become ever more so
dear!
Another season has come and gone;
Nothing has been the
same.
Of all the times in the past,
Memories are what remain.
We
hold them close to our hearts
With thoughts of beloved Chris
We try to
move forward,
But him we’ll forever miss!!
So while we miss him
desperately
And feel so very sad,
We must remember that he was
The VERY
BEST we could have had!!!
Written with both pride and sadness as 2005 ends and 2006 is ushered in,
Grandma Jan
