Written by Ben, age 13, who on
Dec 14, 1997 died after a 4 yr. battle with a
brain tumor. He wrote this and gave it to his
mom before he died.
I see 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 the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this
year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so
dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the
Christmas choir up here
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices
bring
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside
your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you
dear
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ
this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home
above
I sent you each a memory of my undying love
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold
It was always most important in the stories Jesus
told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to
do
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each
of you
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tear
Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ
this year.
