Her Last Christmas Eve

She just knew it would be her last Christmas Eve
     The last one with her sister
This one needed to be special
     This one could not be missed
A lifetime of memories to be renewed,
     Christmases in happier times
 Feeling the love of being
      Sisters and friends for over 80 years

The twinkle of every light to be cherished
     Every carol to be sung
Each word, a happy distraction
And though they lived alone and
Life for one of them was ending,
     It was Christmas, time to celebrate
Time to make just one more memory
