Christmas for me won't be the same
Since the day you passed away
Still an emptiness I feel
As my heart won't properly heal

I'll take flowers to your grave
Before all my guests arrive
Oh how I wish with all my heart
That you were still alive

A piece of tinsel I'll place on your headstone
To bring the spirit of Christmas your way
As I try desperately to stop the tears
On this supposedly happy day

As I drive back along the water
To prepare for the Christmas feast
I see reflections of you
And this brings me inner peace

My dearest Dad I still miss you
Please make the hurt go away
And come back here by my side
Where I want you to always stay

Stand very, very quiet
under the mistletoe
feel the silent kiss on cheek
it's your Dad, you know

Taste the tang of candy cane
smack bright your childhood lips
feel the touch of Dad on you
with his spirit's fingertips

He's all around, Sue, I promise he is...you just need to stand quiet, and feel him again.

Sue, Karilea is right!  When you sit in that garden of yours and look at all the beauty there, he is with you.  When you look out to the waves he is the wind that kisses your cheek, and if you do stand very, very still, you will feel him.  You know I feel this for I share your pain, and I send you all my love for this season.  By remembering him he is there as he lives within your heart.
