My grandmother sent this poem to me and I wanted to share it with you all.
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 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 sound 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 send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is the 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 blessings or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I've read this poem before and it's one I really love. Thanks for posting it b/c I got to read it again!!
(((hugs))) Thinking of your family during this holiday season. Peace.
I love to envision that all of our babies are together in Heaven. They play together and do things babies do. But, sometimes they take turns talking about their mommies and daddies, too.
That's gorgeous poem. Thanks for sharing it with us.
