Missing You at Christmas
Every day without you,
since you had to go,
Is like summer without sunshine,
and winter without snow.
I wish that I could talk to you,
There's so much I would say.
Life has changed so very much, since you went
away.
I miss the bond between us,
and I miss your kind support,
You're in my mind and in my heart,
and every Christmas thought.
I'll always feel you close to me,
and though you're far from sight,
I'll search for you among the stars that shine on Christmas night.
There's seven people around the table rather than eight this year, and whilst we may find this difficult, we will be thinking of you always. An empty chair, one less plate of food to serve, one less drink to pour, but we shall be celebrating in your name. Merry Christmas Philip from Susan, Clare, Martin, Edward, Katie, Alice, Isabel and Poppy x
