The tree is decorated
And the wreath is on the door
Presents are wrapped and garnished
As they lay upon the floor.

The candles are lit brightly
Christmas music playing too
I cannot enjoy any of this
Because I'm missing you.

Somewhere in a strange country
Danger lurking every where
Please know that I am praying for you
For your safety and your care.

I say a prayer each day that you
Will come home soon to stay
I want you to know you are in my heart
Each moment on Christmas Day.
