My First Christmas In Heaven


I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below,
with tiny lights like heavens stars
reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas
with Jesus 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 so 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 this year.

I sent you 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 blessings or love
he has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear
Remember I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

This poem was written by a 13 year old boy who died of a brain tumor, that he fought for four years. He died Dec. 14, 1997. He gave this to his mom before he died. His name was Ben.
May you all have a blessed Christmas and for those of us who have lost loved ones know that they too, are spending Christmas with Jesus this year.
