~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's Christmas time again, and in the spirit of Christmas I always post my open Christmas letter poem to my grandchildren, " My Five Little Golden Heart's.".....( and I now have a beautiful little Great-Granddaughter who is now 2 years of age.....-. :-*.....) ~~ My Five Little Golden Hearts~~~ 'Twas the night before Christmas as I sat before my tree Five golden hearts are hanging there place on the tree by me As I look upon the five gold hearts a special meaning they all have A name and date are written there on each heart with loving care I hung the hearts upon my tree gold color they shine so bright I sit and sing to all the hearts for this is Christmad Eve night The birth of baby Jesus is what Christmas is all about And we celebrate in many ways with laughter song and shouts As I look upon my Christmas tree I sing Silent Night with love And thank my Heavenly Father for Jesus and the five gold hearts above You see it's not the tree that counts that we decorate each year It's just a way of showing what we hold in our hearts so dear I touch each little heart of gold and say a little prayer I trust that God will let you know on my tree and in my heart you're there So happy birthday to my "Jesus" for this day is a special day To celebrate and show our love as we should do everyday The gold colored hearts upon my tree a date and name they bear They represent my grandchildren and their parents for whom I care They may not stand before me on this eve of Christmas night But they are on my Christmas tree and in my heart I hold them tight So hang "My Five Little Golden Hearts" upon my Christmas tree And listen when I sing to you for in my heart you will always be It fills my heart with happiness to see you hanging on my tree I ask God to take a message to you of Merry Christmas and love from me It's Brittney, Lindsay and little Trey, James and little Stephanie too That each little heart represents and their parents whom I love so Shine on "My Five Little Golden Hearts" that's what you are to me And every year from this year on you'll be on my Christmas tree I'll always keep you in heart as Christmas fades away Then I'll place "My Five Little Golden Hearts" on my mantle to see each day Next year when Christmas time is here and I place you on my tree You may not stand before me but you'll spend Christmas time with me Merry Christmas "My Five Little Golden Hearts" for this year and years to come And know that every Christmas on my tree my hearts are hung. With all my love, your Grandmama!..... :-* By: Gloria S. Castor Copyright C 1999...... Gloria S. Castor
