I think of days of yesteryear
Though some are very sad
We really didn't have too much
I always felt so scared
I wanted so much to belong
To someone who would care
Didn't know that I would grow
Without my mother near
Doesn't matter anyway
I grew up to belong
Caring for all that life would give
I learned how to be strong
Then the day when I returned
To hold my Mother close
That was the day I learned to honor
What I always though I lost
She told me she was sorry
For all I had gone through
I told her that I didn't mind
Taught her how I grew
Christmas time I treat as though
I always spent with you
The family that I wanted then
I dreamed I had it too
Smile was weak and yet I knew
She felt so sad and blue
No regrets I said to her
My heart belongs to you
You had to do the things you did
But instantly she cried
I held my mother in my arms
Closely by my side
Your love for me I can now see
Has never gone away
So this was now my memory
Of magic Christmas day
With joy and love I learned to live
With many different hearts
Where love and care was everywhere
The beauty then did start
I felt so warm and safe within
The arms that brought me to
The angels with their wings so strong
They showed me what to do
To love and care for all the things
That you may not believe
But this has given strength to me
That made my life succeed
That we must be the chosen ones
Who offers those a hand
You cannot make it in this life
If you can't help someone land
So always give your fellowman
A hand to reach out to
Perhaps one day this gift
Will then return to cherish you
So keeping Christmas in your heart
Not only for a day
But with the joy of all goodwill
That always comes your way
Make someone that's sad or blue
Happy you are near
That's how I spend my Christmas now
More than once a year
The beat of hearts so close to yours
Smiles with honest love
That is the gift that life will give
A Christmas from above
These are the things you gave to me
When life was sad for you
I love you Mommy don't you see
My Christmas wasn't blue
Each special day of Christmas
Begins and ends with you
With memories of all your gifts
My heart refreshed and new.
