A Christmas Timeline
A Pennsylvania country
home
We five sisters sure had a
blast
A bit poor, but always had
gifts
A look at Christmas in the
past
One Christmas time we
expected
Our daughter to be born at
last
Brought her home in a red
stocking
A look at Christmas in the
past
Tried to give kids
Christmas traditions
But we moved around too
fast
Different people and
places
A look at Christmas in the
past
The kids are living miles
away
We celebrate with them
somehow
We may be there or on the
phone
A look at Christmas here
and now
But we have no
grandchildren yet
Just three orange cats who
say meow
We exchange memories and
gifts
A look at Christmas here
and now
To remember the Lord and His
gift
Aiming to do that is our
vow
He’s the gift that keeps
on giving
A look at Christmas here
and now
Whether our kids are near
or far
To keep in touch, our rule
of thumb
We might stay longer as
years pass
A look at Christmas yet to
come
As we age and depend on
them
We remember where good
comes from
We may see losses as time
passes
A look at Christmas yet to
come
We’ll celebrate from year
to year
But our frail bodies will
succumb
We will rejoice in His
presence
A look at Christmas yet to
come
