Christmas Memories
I hold close to my heart
From me may they never part
They hold so many treasures

Remembering the Christmas of my childhood
Sometimes it seems like only yesterday
Other times it feels so far away
I was surrounded by my brothers at Christmas as I played

Back when I was still so innocent and naueve
Before it all fell a part
This makes me feel an ache in my heart
Holidays are for joy and to give

Christmas always was my favorite holiday
But then something went wrong
I still on this day try to sing a song
But so much has stolen some Christmas joy away

I try to concentrate on all the good of this day
Of miracles, giving to others, and of my children's joy
But as I watch them all open and play with a toy
I know the Christmas of my childhood is but a memory

Time has not healed my childhood family
My brothers from each other grew distant
Of this to this day they will not repent
So together we don't play on Christmas day

Our father is going and so are others
The holidays for at least a brief moment here and there
Bring me so many a abundant tear
For now I still hold close to my mother

So Christmas brings to me tears of sadness and yet some great joy
Memories that are sweet but bitter
Set my heart into a quiver
As I set and play with my child and their new Christmas toy
