~Mothers mean much more on Christmas day~

Christmas is the time I really miss my mom more then ever,
I miss her every day but during the holidays it´s even worse.
As long as she lived we spent Christmas together and I have so
many sweet memories, so much is still in my heart and mind.

"Mothers mean much more on Christmas day,
Even though they're loved the whole year round.
Rich memories lie knee-deep on the ground,
Recalling years when gifts unopened lay,
Years of Christmases near wild with play,
Christmases of dreams unwrapped and crowned,
Happiness with wings and joy unbound,
Reveling in myths time would betray.
In you there lies the spirit of pure giving,
Sweetness that finds pleasure in my smile,
The gift I can reopen every year.
More than my own, I find your heart forgiving,
A home where I am welcome all the while,
So I can rest assured, for you are near."
