As I sit by the fire watching the snow fall
I pictured you sitting near the wall
Laughing cheerfully as the baby crawls
The image sweet and savory
This Christmas I promised myself to let you go.
I prayed that you would let me to
I can try til the snow turns to ice yet nothing suffice
Night falls and day later arises with its morning dew
As the snow melts the picture then becomes clear
Brighter days are coming this new year
As I sit by the fire with my entire family near
I admire the past with you my dear
Lovely and sweet this Christmas was
One step at a time
