Christmas
In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas
trees around the world below with tiny lights like heaven's
stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
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 of the joy their 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 for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this
year.
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this
place Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face
to face?
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with
the King.

The story behind the poem: Lysandra Kay Bencke was my
thirteen year old handicapped daughter. On Christmas day
1997, Lysandra had a seizure and was in a coma for five
days before she died. During those five days I wrote the
poem "Christmas in Heaven". I sent it out in belated
Christmas cards to friends and relativies that year. They
also sent it on to other friends and relatives, thus how
the poem and the story behind it has been changed. I can
verify all the infomation in this message.
