If My Brother Could Talk To ME

[CAJnCAT]

<span style='font-family:Optima'><span style='colorurple'>
Hello Everyone,
I lost my brother 9 months ago at the age of 50. This is going to our first Christmas without him. I already feel myself getting depressed and want to cry, but I keep going trying to hide it.
I know if Chuck could talk to me this is what he would tell me:

I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like heaven's stars
Reflecting in the snow.

The sight is so spectacular
Please wipe away that tear
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear
But earthly music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here

I have no words to tell you
The joy their voices bring
For it's beyond description
To hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
Trust God and have no fear
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year

I can't tell you of the splendor
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you imagine Christmas
With our Savior, face to face?

May God uplift your spirit
As I tell Him of your love
Then pray for one another
As you lift your eyes above.

So let your hearts be joyful
And let your spirits sing
For I'm spending Christmas in Heaven
And I'm walking with the king!

In Loving Memory Of Charles (Chuck) Young
October 1, 1955 - April 18, 2006

I love and miss you so so much.
Fly with your wings my sweet angel.
Love,
Your Baby Sis
Connie

DEAR CONNIE
I FOUND THIS POEM AND HOPE YE DONT MIND I WANT TO DEDICATE IT TO YOUR DARLING BROTHER CHUCK
IN MY THOUGHTS CAJ AS ALWAYS DIANE X
Christmas Without You

The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.

I reminisce our Christmas’ past
The joy and love we shared
Moonlit walks and midnight talks
And ways you showed you cared.

Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven dear
Someday when life is through
I’ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.

Hi ya caj

I know the first Christmas without a loved one is very hard, I had to do it last year without my mum. The poem is so so beautiful and I'm sure you're brother is saying exactly that. I know you miss him, like I miss my mum, like everyone misses loved ones that have gone especially at this time of the year, but we know they are in a far far better place than us, and that's what we can cling on to. Let the tears flow Connie, don't try and hold back it will only make it worse.



Love
Libby
xxxx

p.s. Dino your poem is so beautiful too

Thank you so much for your reply sweetie. I did cry the 3 or 4 days before Christmas. Christmas went very well, I had my mom and sister.


Love,
Connie
