Christmas Memories When snowflakes dance on winter winds And colored lights shine Christmas cheer, When children's laughter fills the air And family gathers from far and near, I try to celebrate with them And not let my hurting show, But the empty spaces within my heart, At this season, seems to grow 'Till often times it fills the days And many night times too, With aching thoughts and memories Of Christmases I spent with you. So for now I'll wipe away the tears And join with loved ones dear To celebrate this Christmas time, For I know that, in my heart, you're here.
