I wrote this about the three years before the passing of my wife. So you can see I want be getting anything for Christmas.

MY CHRISTMAS LIST

Well it’s this of year again
With My Christmas List where do I begin

At my age there are clothes, technical things and stuff
Do i of this ever get enough

I look deep within myself
Do I really want more things to put on a shelf

I look within once more
To see what was really at my hearts door

What was there can’t be found in a store nor money buy
They only brought tears to this old mans eye

What is to come is but a small list
Others i hold tight in my clenched fist

Twelve more months of my wife by my side
A warm dry house for us to reside

Good ears to hear her voice and laughter
A sound mind that i may remember her here after

Two eyes to see her lovely face
Two arms to hold her in a loving embrace

Our daughters to be keepers of their home
Love their husbands, train their children from God not to roam

All of my Grandchildren to have Christ as personal Savior
To the Christian life to hold fast and never waver

My sons-in-law to love my daughters as i love their mother
For sake all others and lust for no other

To see my brothers and sister one last time
Look upon each face and see Gods design

Also to have income to help each one
As hard times will surely come

You see none of these in a store you would find
My Christmas List can only be filled by Gods Hand Divine
