"My First Christmas in Heaven" - to the families of the victims

This Christmas poem entitled "My First Christmas in Heaven" is for the survivors of the victims in Newtown. My mom and I have known 2 young losses, my sister and my little brother and we understand their deep deep incredible pain.  We are saddened by the terrible tragedy there in Newtown and our hearts are broken for the entire community.  Especially the families of all who have died needlessly. 
Although nothing can erase or take away the pain and agony these families and friends are going through, maybe this will ease their pain if only for five minutes.

We send everyone in Newtown our love, prayers, peace and light,

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights like Heaven’s starts, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not far away, we really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above,
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do
For I can’t count the blessing or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
