Dear Lord I Wonder, Someone's missing at Christmas Options

[Brenda]

Dear Lord I Wonder

I know it's wrong to question
the working of Your plan.
But I can't help but wonder,
And pray You'll understand.

To us , our loved ones You've only lent
To teach and hold, to love
But I can't help but miss him
he's so far away above

I wonder if I treated him
the way You thought I should
Or did I make too many mistakes
as only a parent could?

I wonder if the ache and pain
will ever go away
I'f I'll find peace and happiness
another time and day

I wonder if he misses me
and thinks about me some
I wonder if he's waiting
for the day I too, shall come

I wonder if in Heaven
he ever thinks of me
Or is his life so beautiful
he really doesn't see

The holidays are coming Lord,
I don't know what to so
I know that there are others
But I wish the days were through

Now Lord I need a favour
for myself and for my friends,
I ask for your compassion
for our hearts that will not mend

I need to ask you one thing more..
before I let You go,
Will you wish our loved ones a Merry Christmas,
hug them, and tell them we love and miss them so.

Thank you Brenda for that lovely poem, I am crying as I write this as my son went to be with the Lord in 1989 and my husband in 1999. Memories of them also bring happiness at Christmas time.
