Christmas is here with all its glory,
But it won't be the same as of old.
God has taken two of our darling loved ones.
Their bodies are resting cut in the cold.
I know you are not lonely in heaven,
'Way up in that heavenly blue,
But darlings, we have no way O expressing
Just how much we do miss you.
We have all your toys, Bertha, darling;
They are packed and covered with care.
We will keep them in loving remembrance of you, each long, long year.
We miss you so much, Gladys, darling;
Your chair will be vacant each year.
Those precious little things we remember you by
Will always be handled with care.
