I visited the cemetery As I so often do I gazed upon the headstone And said a prayer or two I placed a wreath upon the grave Where my moms body lay I shed my tears and spoke of love Then slowly walked away I don't know why, but I turned back And I saw an awesome sight Through the majestic tree above her grave I saw a radiant light So struck by it's beauty And the bending of snow capped boughs My heart was filled with joy And my spirit was aroused It's as if mom was giving me a message And suddenly I realized Her home is still within my heart And no one ever really dies For a time one must leave this earth But they are never far away And they hear our every thought and word When we go to them and pray My thoughts began to turn to Christmas's long ago As I smiled and moved forward Trudging through the snow I felt the light move with me And as I drove away Mom had sent to me a message On this snowy day Upon the radio was playing As the day turned into night "MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS'S BE WHITE.
