Christmas is that time of year
to be feeling lots of joy and peace
But for us we only shed a tear
as our sorrow does not seem to cease
For two years ago, on Christmas Eve
we found Flumencio dead after Mass
and though in the Spirit we still believe
our grief for his loss does not pass
In his black truck he loved to cruise
known to all in San Ygnacio
such a big heart is so hard to lose
the entire town is feeling low
Yet with his Spirit we are blessed within
filled with his memory letting the New Year begin

“Thank you so much! I really loved it. Thank God we have people like you who have the heart and intelligence to write poems for people like me who don’t know how to put their thoughts into words.” – Leticia Munez, San Ygnatio, TX
