• I found a picture of you today, in a box of your favorite ornaments.

    I had to stop and sit down, the bare, green tree only reminding me of what this Christmas will be like.

    The house is so empty without you, how can I survive this year alone?

    A bell rings in my ears and I see you standing by the tree, decorating it with your perfect, delicate love.

    A smile lights your face, as pure and innocent as fresh snow in my eyes.

    Your image fades but the work of art remains.

    I stand by my finished work, exactly as it was the Christmas before.

    The best Christmas, the last Christmas together.

    I put the angel on top of the tree and put your pciture in it's
    porcelien arms.

    My guardian angel, looking over me on this empty Christmas.

    Merry Christmas my love, my angel in the sky.
