Christmas Carnivals brings you the Merry Christmas from Heaven poem written by John Mooney in 1989 after his mother's death in August. His intention was to present it to his family that year at Christmas. He knew it was going to be a very difficult holiday season without her. The words, and the comfort he and his family needed, came to him after a prayer one night.
As he wrote, he thought of the words his mother might say to each one of them.
Text
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights.
I still share your hopes
and all your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say all your prayers.
I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd.
Keep trying each moment
to stay in His grace
I came here before you
to help set your place.
You don't have to be
perfect all the time
He forgives you the slip
if you continue to climb.
To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
in a new special way.
I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year.
At the insistence of friends, John has made this comforting and meaningful poem available to others. This is the original Merry Christmas From Heaven now on an engraveable Christmas ornament as well as framed, in card form, prayer card form and CD.
