It’s Christmas Eve and the streets are overflowing

With smiling happy faces full of yuletide joy

Sitting spellbound before a blazing festive fire

It seems not so long ago when I was just a boy

But now I’m grown and all I have is memories

Of happy days and nights so innocent and pure

Oh mother of mine if only you were here

I miss you so much this time of year for sure

But life goes on with its never ending journey

I have been truly blessed with children of my own

Wondrous eyes full of excitement on a Christmas morn

A picture of serenity love and happiness alone

You are with me in heart and spirit oh mother dear

I will raise a smile reminisce and shed a joyful tear
