Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that she would somehow be there
The family was nestled all snug in their beds
While memories of her danced in their heads
When out of nowhere there arose a little light
I jumped from the bed, looked out into the night
Away to the Christmas tree I flew
While standing there alone, I knew
With the Christmas light blinking so bright
I knew in heart it would all be alright
When what to my wandering mind did occur
Visions and memories, so fast, a blur
This was something different, a new twist
I knew in that moment it must be my sis
More rapid than eagles, the memories came
And I sat there and listened as she called us by name
Oh Keira, Oh Austin, and Abby
Oh Mommy, Oh Daddy, and the rest of the family
To the top of the pain, on top of it all
Dash away, dash away, dash away all
As the tears fell down my face,
I knew at that moment, in this place
The joy would flow again
Fueled by the memories of our family and friend
And then in the twinkling, I heard in the tree
The laughter and the joy and I let it be
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around
Down the chimney a feeling came with a bound
She was dressed all in purple, comfy shoes on her feet
Her clothes were all sparkly, in her hand a Christmas treat
A big smile she had plastered on her face,
And she looked like she did before she left this place
Her eyes, how they twinkled
Her laughter so merry
Her cheeks were near to bursting with the message she carried
She spoke not word, just gave me a wink
She filled the whole room with her laughter, and then in a blink
She layed her finger on the side of her nose
And into the great bright light once again she arose
As she sprang to the heavens, she gave one last look down
And she told me she was here, she would always be around
Then I heard her exclaim as to heaven to flew....
Merry Christmas to all, I love you !!!!
