ANOTHER LONELY DECEMBER
..by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001
Another lonely December,
Waiting for Christmas to pass,
Staring out through the window,
At the cold beyond the glass.
Dreaming of the years gone by,
And things I love to remember,
Knowing this life will always bring,
Another lonely December.

A WALK ON CHRISTMAS DAY
....by Christine Ross in memory of Lucas Christopher Ross 1979 - 2001
I took a walk on Christmas day
In the cool crisp winter air.
The trees bowed down before me
And they whispered in my ear.
"Walk lightly on the pathway.
Tip-toe quietly as you go.
Remember all the days gone by
Of the life you used to know"
Along the path were Christmas trees
And stars and angel wings,
Toys for little children
But no children could be seen.
Bright red bows and Christmas wreaths
And flowers all around,
Big brass horns and jingle bells
Although they made no sound.
Manger scenes and ornaments
And little twinkle lights,
Santa Clause and reindeer,
That didn't come last night.
Decorations everywhere,
It was Christmas at this place.
All was well until I felt
A teardrop on my face.
I walked lightly on the pathway.
I tip-toed quietly as I prayed.
Then I looked down and saw it...
His name upon his grave.
"It's Christmas", whispered all the trees
To the graveyard names below.
..And I remembered days gone by
Of the life I used to know.
