Heaven is a little brighter this Christmas
God has called a servant home
To help light the heavenly candles
That glorify His Magnificent Throne
We each have so many Christmas’s here
To live and love and learn
Before we are presented by Our Heavenly Father
The shining wings that we have earned
Yes, Heaven has a new angel this year
To spread the Glorious Christmas Light
Throughout a world so often filled by darkness
On that Most Holy of Holy Nights
Remember God gathers up our tears
Creating beautiful stars from our sorrow
Which will guide the Christmas Angels’ way
Bringing peace and joy to our tomorrows
And when our earthly time too is finally over
That special angel will be there to take our hand. and
Help us into our heavenly wings, as
Once more before God, together we shall stand

Barbara, I feel like I always say the same thing about your poems, but I can’t help but say the word “beautiful” again. I cried when I read this. I am so sorry for your friend’s loss (and yours). You have written a wonderful tribute. I hope it’s not too difficult for you at this time, and I wish you a wonderful Christmas.
Julie, thank you so much for your concern. My girlfriend will be going through some major changes in her life over the next few months. It was really a wake up call for all of us at work. He used to work in our office.
I am fine and a little more appreciative of my friends and family this Christmas — thank you
