Christmas is a time for love
The love that filled your heart
You were such a special gift
That in my life won't part
The times of love and joy remain
They never go away
You keep my heart so centered
Forever and a day
You brought a special Christmas gift
You shared it through the years
The laughter and the peace you gave
Shall always keep you near
The times in life we put away
Within a treasured place
Are gathered in a gold bound book
That fills a gentle space
In searching for a piece of you
There’s much that I can find
For in this life you were the joy
Of love that truly binds
And so this Christmas I shall seek
The joy that you acquired
Holding on with all my might
The love that you inspired
For you were loved by many
With every passing day
The heart of Christmas that we seek
Is now a breath away
I whisper words that you will hear
Within the soft cool breeze
A plethora of gentle thoughts
That put my heart at ease
When I awake on Christmas day
It's your voice I shall hear
Wishing me the happiness
You shared with me each year
Time and space will have no bounds
For you are in my soul
The beauty of your love inspired
Through every story told.

How
do
we
measure
the
worth
of
a
man,
for
me
it
is
easy,
as
Arthur
was
a
special
man
in
life,
a
man
who
always
had
Christmas
in
his
heart.
He
was
generous
to
a
fault
and
had
many
people
in
his
life
who
would
take
advantage
of
that,
but
to
him
that
was
not
important
he
knew
that
deep
down
somewhere
in
their
hearts
was
something
special
about
them.
That
is
how
he
lived,
that
is
how
he
shared
his
generous
heart
and
spirit.
I
had
many
a
Christmas
with
my
Artie,
he
was
so
jolly
and
filled
with
the
spirit
of
Christmas,
he
loved
all
the
Holidays
but
Christmas
was
a
special
time
for
him.
I
always
made
the
house
special
for
Christmas,
he
loved
things
that
moved
and
so
each
year
I
would
get
him
something
that
he
could
turn
on
and
watch.
One
year
it
was
a
beautiful
Carousel
that
went
up
and
down
with
Victorian
men
and
ladies
on
it.
Then
the
next
year
I
got
him
a
little
pool
table
with
mice
playing
pool.
He
would
walk
around
the
house
and
light
up
when
he
saw
the
movement
of
the
toys
and
just
enjoyed
it
so
much.
His
partner
Ritchie
would
always
buy
him
a
special
collectible
car.
He
loved
old
cars
and
spent
hours
looking
through
the
Hemmings
Motor
Magazine.
He
has
an
original
Thunderbird,
a
two-seater
with
opera
roof
.
It
is
sitting
in
our
garage,
he
loved
that
car
so
much.
He
was
just
a
little
boy
in
a
big
guy's
body.
How
he
loved
the
joy
in
life
that
he
felt
from
the
little
things
that
put
a
smile
on
your
face.
He
was
also
a
giver
in
life,
for
a
few
months
before
the
Holidays
he
would
go
on
shopping
sprees
and
fill
the
back
of
his
car
with
gifts,
all
kinds
of
gifts,
some
I
myself
would
beg
him
for.
He
always
let
me
take
what
I
wanted,
but
the
price
to
pay
was
that
I
had
to
wrap
them
for
him
so
when
he
met
a
stranger
or
a
friend
that
struck
his
fancy
he
would
pop
open
that
trunk
and
give
them
a
present
for
Christmas.
That
is
just
how
he
was.
He
was
indeed
the
epitome
of
the
spirit
of
Christmas
and
love.
As
I
sit
and
think
of
him
this
year
I
will
remember
all
the
beautiful
gifts
that
came
from
his
heart
and
hear
his
laughter
and
joy
at
the
smallest
things
in
life
that
would
put
a
smile
on
his
face.
I
remember
that
smile,
I
remember
that
love.
Christmas
will
always
be
a
special
time
of
year
for
me
with
memories
that
you
cannot
forget.
Thank
you
Artie
for
being
the
"
Christmas"
every
day
in
my
life.
Thank
you
for
the
years
of
joy
with
you
by
my
side.
I
will
carry
you
always
in
my
heart
and
know
that
I
was
indeed
blessed
to
share
the
life
of
a
man
who
was
the
quintessential
expression
of
the
spirit
of
love.
Merry
Christmas
~
You
are
Always
in
my
Heart
You
are
truly
part
of
my
soul.
