Thursday 25th December 

Eleven Christmases have passed you by 
No longer here, but in heaven you lie 

The twinkle of lights feels dimmer tonight 
Searching for your smile, your warmth, your light 

The place is quiet where your voice would sound 
No footsteps echo on frosted ground 

Listening hard in moments of the night 
Hoping for whispers from a distant height 

Looking toward heaven at stars so bright 
Picturing you wrapped in celestial light 

Stockings are hung, yet they feel so bare 
Reaching out my hand, yet you're not there 

Missing you sweetie, in every soft sigh 
Beneath the glimmering of the night sky 

So this season holds both joy and grief 
A rollercoaster beyond belief 

Eleven Christmases, yet here in my heart 
The bond that we forged will never depart 

No matter how long, as memories replay 
It will always feel like yesterday 

Happy Christmas Frank 
Missing you
Love you
Always and forever
Sweet Angel
