All We Want For Christmas Is You

Inspired by Mariah Carey’s beautiful song “All I Want For Christmas Is You”
Photo is of Nico and Cody at Christmas with two friends-2003

This will be the fourth one, a Christmas without you;
Our precious Angel Nico, it surely will be blue!
And adding to our heartache, this is another that we’ll cry;
For you, our dearest Cody, a second one now goes by!
.
Our home feels so very barren, without our sweetest little boys;
The floors are all so empty, without your squeaky little toys!
No trip to go see Santa, and film you in his lap;
No barks echo in our hallways, no gentle loving yaps!
.
No gift-wrapped doggie presents, that you used to sniff with glee;
For some had yummy treats in them, or a toy underneath the tree!
Not a creature now is stirring, such silence in your lieu;
Except for Mommy and Daddy crying, for all we want is you!
.
.
No mistletoe hangs
For without your sweet kisses
Christmas spirit fades
