Hilton Elvis Gill

YOU WERE MY GIFT
MY BLACK LAB “AIREADOR”
HILTON ELVIS

ELEVEN CHRISTMAS DAYS
SHOULD BE
BUT THREE WEEKS TO THIS
DAY YOU SUDDENLY LEFT ME.

YOUR SANTA HAT AND
STOCKING ARE STOWED WITH CARE
MORE SO RIGHT NOW IT’S HIT ME
YOU’RE NO LONGER THERE.

WHERE I EXPECT YOU AND
THINK YOU WILL BE
GOD HOW THIS CHRISTMAS
IS SO SAD AND HEARTBREAKING
FOR ME.

AND SO MY LOVING DEVOTED FRIEND
THE PRESENTS I MIGHT HAVE WANTED
ARE NO WHERE TO BE
FOR THE ONLY THING TRULY WANTED
WOULD BE YOU STILL BESIDE ME.

GOD GAVE ME YOU AS A GIFT
WHAT SEEMED NOT LONG AGO
AND GOD BROUGHT BACK TO HIM
MY GIFT THAT I SO MISS SO.

REST EASY AND PLAY FREE
FOR SOON MY HILTON ELVIS I’LL
BE WITH YOU AND SEE;
THAT ALL IS WELL AS WE MEET
IN THE RAINBOWS AND STAY SIDE
BY SIDE INTO ETERNITY…..
FOR THAT WOULD TRULY
BE HEAVEN TO ME.

John
