Not There Another Christmas will come and go.. But when we look around your not there.. The tree is lit while presents decorate underneath.. But when I look around your not there.. The Christmas dinner is hard to beat.. How you loved to eat.. And after we'd find you sound asleep.. Another Christmas we carry on and don't mention the vacant seat.. I miss you dad everyday and still don't know why you went away.. The way you'd potter about in your shed or fixing a neighbours gate.. Your favourite chair by the TV .. It's gone now .. We just couldn't bear to see it empty and put it away... I don't like to visit you it's hard for me you see.. I still struggle with why you went away.. And keep looking around.. But your not there..
