As the New Year dawns, and Christmas cheer fills the air,
I feel your spirit, still with me, everywhere.
Though you're gone, your love remains,
A guiding light through joys and pains.
?
You were the heart of every season's glow,
In your warmth, all blessings would flow.
On Christmas Eve, you’d prepare the feast,
Serving love, from the greatest to the least.
?
In every twinkling light, I see your grace,
In every prayer, I feel your embrace.
You taught me kindness, wisdom, and care,
A legacy of love, beyond compare.
?
Through every holiday, every song we sang,
Your laughter echoed; your joy still rang.
You were my healer, my teacher, my friend,
A love so pure, that will never end.
?
Now, each year I honor you, my dear,
In every Christmas and New Year’s cheer.
Though the years pass, and the seasons change,
Your love remains, ever vast, never strange.
?
So, this New Year, and Christmas too,
I send my heart’s thanks, forever true.
For all you gave, for all you’ve done,
In my heart, you are forever one.
?
In every prayer, in every gift I give,
Your love shines bright, helping me to live.
Happy holidays, in heaven above,
I send you my eternal gratitude and love.
