Wee sad and very personal one that I wrote and gave to my mum when she was hospitalised after Dad passed away and we couldn't spent Xmas Eve or Xmas night together.

NORTH STAR AT CHRISTMAS

On Christmas Eve Mum, do something for me

Look out of your window, something I want you to see

Discover the North Star - it’ll be shining so bright

Showing my love for you, on that special night

And as you gaze up, and see how it glows

You’ll feel my love Mum, it’s strong as it grows

And a smile on your face I want there to be

Because I know then, that you are thinking of me

For Christmas is not about presents galore

There is a deep meaning - there’s so much more

Recognition of love and for things we are feeling

That we both still remain and we both have some meaning

Knowing that you and I have each other

For no one could ask for a more loving Mother

In physical form, I may not be there

Though believe me Mum, your feelings I’ll share

Yes – I will be sad and I know you will too

But now’s not the time, for us to feel blue

The warmth of knowing your deep love for me

Will get me through this, and you too – you’ll see

So on Christmas Eve Mum, please don’t cry

Because I’m not there to wipe your tears dry

Look up to the North Star, it shining so bright

I’ll feel your kiss reach me, as you say Goodnight

When I feel that kiss reach me, I know we’ll be fine

Coz I am all yours Mum - and you are all mine

North Start will guide us, it will show us the light

And give us the strength, not to give up the fight
