The holidays can be the hardest for those that lose someone close.

This poem was read in church this morning - I thought I'd share it:

She is Gone
By Anonymous

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.



I just found a copy of it, with a story, here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts/1922964.stm

First Christmas

This is my first Christmas without you.
I never realized how lonely I was 'til I saw a couple walking down the street, arm in arm, smiling at each other. It's my first Christmas without you.

All I have is your memory, that lives in my heart, today; not a present to buy, not one little thing to wrap, no decorations on the tree do I have. It's my first Christmas without you.

I know I'm not alone, not being with the one we love. But, somehow, they still go on.
Just one more day, a month, a year ~
Then, it's another Christmas without you.

Someday, at another time, another place, another year, we will join together, once again.
There will be bells ringing and Angels singing.
What a day that Christmas will be!
