Though the house will feel empty,
my life will be so full of you,
that, as my arms enfold nothing,
my heart will embrace you anew.
And when I feel lonely,
Your presence is one with my soul.
So, that when my heart's broken,
Your love makes me whole.
Christmas without you, Lord
would be more than I could bear
but, with You in my heart,,
Your love I can share.
Christmas without you
having given Your all for me,
is a Christmas without
any presents under the tree.

See "Christmas Without You" a love poem. As is often the case the love and the experiences that grow out of our earthly relationships teach us about our relationship with God. I realized that with just a few changes, that poem would become a poem that gives insight into the true meaning of Christmas.
