I'm dreaming of a Christmas past

when you were here with me;

when we gathered all together

with our gifts beneath the tree.

We wished each other peace and love

and prayed for harmony,

but the world has not yet found it

so you can't be here with me.





Although the miles between us

seem to widen every day

I know you'll still be with us

as we gather Christmas Day.

We'll remember Christmas of the past

and dream of future days

when you'll be with us once again,

and home for Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas, soldier!
We love you and miss you.

Honoring Sgt. Mark Hernandez
and all who proudly serve around the globe.
