IT WON’T BE
LIKE BEFORE
|
|
I haven’t been home for
Christmas, |
|
Since my Mama passed away. |
|
We’ve been celebrating at my
house,. |
|
And Dad comes for a nice
long stay |
| |
|
Even once grown, I’d think
of home, |
|
As the holidays grew near. |
|
.I couldn’t always make the
trip, |
|
But my heart was always
there |
| |
|
My age made not a
difference, |
|
When it came to the
holidays. |
|
.Cause going home for
Christmas, |
|
Washed all those years away |
| |
|
Family traditions that never
changed, |
|
Made it special being home. |
|
And made me feel like a kid
again, |
|
No matter how far I’d
roamed. |
| |
|
Over many years I gathered, |
|
A treasure trove of
memories. |
|
Such as aromas from Mom’s
kitchen, |
|
And her secret recipes. |
| |
|
But this year Dad needn’t
travel, |
|
I’ll be home for Christmas
day. |
|
Tho it won’t be like it was
before, |
|
Now that Mama’s gone away. |
| |
|
I’ll smile as I fight back
my tears |
|
When we’re greeted at the
door. |
|
Cause Dad will open it all
alone, |
|
No, it won’t be like before. |
| |
|
On Christmas day I’ll slip
away, |
|
To go visit with my Mom. |
|
And place a wreath upon her
grave, |
|
While wishing she wasn’t
gone. |
| |
|
I know her spirit will
surround us, |
|
As we celebrate this year. |
|
Smiling down upon the
family, |
|
That she loved and held so
dear. |
| |
|
DEDICATED TO
THE MEMORY OF |
|
MY PRECIOUS
MOTHER |
