"Christmas In Heaven"

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny
lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so
spectacular please wipe away that tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold
so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up
here.

I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
For
it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you
miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace
here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to
face?

I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love

So, then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

Please
let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
For I am spending
Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.

This poem "Christmas In Heaven" written by Wanda Bencke has
appeared on the internet in different forms. The above poem is the original.
Here is what the author has to say about her original poem. The story behind the
poem... Lysandra Kay Bencke was was my thirteen year old handicapped daughter.
On Christmas day 1997, Lysandra had a seizure and was in a coma for five days
before she died. During those five days, I wrote the poem "Christmas In Heaven".
I sent it out in belated Christmas cards to friends and relatives that year.
They also sent it on to other friends and relatives, thus, how the poem and the
story behind it has been changed. I wanted people to know the story about 'Ben'
is not true.
