After reading on the AnySoldier.com website about the recent passing of two brave soldiers, I thought I'd share this poem......

My First Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees, around the world below with tiny lights like Heaven, reflecting on the snow.The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tears, 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 the joy the 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. But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones. You know I hold you dear. And be glad I'm spending Christmas...With Jesus Christ this year. I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above. I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift, more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do. For I can't count the blessings or the love he has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I am spending Christmas...With Jesus Christ this year. Author Unknown
