Written on the hood of my van, on a torn-apart bank deposit slip,under a huge maple tree just a few feet away from the grave site of Carol's parents, my Mother and Father-In Law, just before a winter storm would cover the ground for months, I remember my tears falling on the paper as I wrote, "I stopped by your place for Christmas, the place where you always stay ..."

I STOPPED BY YOUR PLACE FOR CHRISTMAS


It was one week before Christmas

Exactly, to the day

I stopped by your place

The place where you always stay

 

The sun was so bright

The sky was so blue

As I stood there and cried

As I stood between you two

 

The day was so bright

Not a cloud in the skies

As the sunlight glistened

Off the tears in my eyes

 

I came by your place

To tidy up a bit

Ready to work

All I could do was just sit

 

I came with some tools

To work on the flowers

Today may be sunny

But tomorrow night, snow showers

 

It made me think how fast

Life changes from day to day

One Christmas you’re here

The next, you’re gone away

 

Gone to a place

We’ll all go some day

It made me wonder if people would visit my place

Or would they stay away

 

As I stood and pondered

Your rose-colored stone

In the midst of a field of monuments

To loved ones now gone

 

I loved you both and miss you so dear

Another Christmas will come, that I wish you were here

I’ll remember that Christmas was your favorite time of year

 

I thank God for the memories

Of holidays spent

All of us together

I wonder, where has the time went

 

I know that one day

We may

Move away

Where ever we go

It is here you must stay

 

You’ll both always be part of our Christmas

We’ll remember the love and joy on your faces

And know you’ll always be together with us

We’ll just spend Christmas in different places
