It’s Christmas day 

You taught me to pray 

So I bow my head 

Your picture in my hand 

Its a consolation

a soft pillow between 

this heavy head 

and a heart very tired

Your smile still as young 

as it ever was 

It’s your favourite dress 

how it was always new 

Its only you that knew 

It’s Christmas day 

this time home Is far away 

From where you used to stay 

Death chose you and fled 

to far away worlds

days like this always salt 

to our ever young wounds 

days like this a book 

of many great stories 

and so special memories 

six feet late 

It’s Christmas day 

Your recipes 

and favourite spices 

dancing 

and performing 

for those who can smell

and those you love 

glasses kiss in the air

It’s a toast 

a toast to you our angel.
