The fog is thick and heavy outside,
This first Christmas day without you,
I drove out to the cemetery alone,
And had to shed a tear or two...

There's been some sad times in my life,
When joy seemed far away,
But there's nothing sadder in this world
Than a cemetery on Christmas day.

I think of all the Christmases past,
Cherished memories so dear,
I'm thankful for each year we had,
But I wish you still were here.

Everybody misses you so, so much,
Our kids, and the grand-kids, too;
They check on me almost every day,
They're all trying to fill your shoes.

We raised a good family together,
They're very special, each one,
I know how proud we both were,
Of our wonderful daughter and sons.

We were very blessed, indeed
To have such an amazing life,
And I hope you always knew
How proud I was to be your wife.

I know you're in a much better place,
But down here I miss you so much!
I wish I could hug you one more time,
And feel your tender touch.

However much longer I may live,
I will never forget you, my love,
I wish you a wonderful Christmas,
With our Savior in heaven above.
