Your Favorite Time of Year

Here’s a Christmas poem I wrote about widowhood. What about your spouse? Was Christmas their favorite time of year?

The lights are shining brightly on the tree.

The kids are all excited as can be.

And normally I'd feel the way they do,

But Christmas is so different without you.

And so it makes me want to shed a tear,

'Cause Christmas was your favorite time of year.

Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for His birth.

And that He chose to come and dwell on earth.

He came that He might help redeem all men.

Because of Him, I'll see you once again.

But still, it makes me want to shed a tear,

'Cause Christmas was your favorite time of year.

You have a better view of what's in store.

I hope it helps you love this season more.

I'm sure your world is filled with love and light.

I hope it makes your Christmas much more bright.

I hope with joy that you will shed a tear,

'Cause Christmas is your favorite time of year.

One day again to you I will appear,

We'll celebrate our favorite time of year.
