One Special Gift This Christmas Poem by Meggie Gultiano

One Special Gift This Christmas



Sounds of Christmas carols
from little boys and girls
singing with their heart’s delight
hopping from one house
to another

a Filipino tradition
caroling with the hope
of receiving a simple Christmas blessing
to buy food on Christmas eve

in a hospital bed
lays a four month old baby
with a hole in his heart
medicines and staff holding him in suspense

this little baby boy, if he grows up
could be one of those
doing the rounds in his village
singing Christmas carols on Christmas eve

but he is still waiting
fighting for his dear life
and needs prayers and a miracle
from the healing hands of Jesus

as I prepare and celebrate
the birthday of the Christ child
on my knees with my family
we will be praying for one special gift

for Carl Steven

Hi Meggie - Beautiful - This really is UNE POESIE DU COEUR (A poem from the Heart) a poem from your lovely Heart to all the PH Family. You are right to share this matter with God - he really cares for us all. THE BIBLE SAYS: 1. CHRISTMAS is a time of Peace & Goodwill so whatever thecircumstances we must praise God and celebrate 2. Every individual is special to God - especially children 3. We have a God who is willing and able to heal all our infirmities 4. We should pray for the sick and trust God for healing. God loves CARL and and if we ALL pray he will be healed and be healthy. WHEN HE GROWS UP HE WILL BE SINGING CHRISTMAS PRAISES ROUND THE VILLAGE. The prayers of the Faithful will impel God to heal the sick. A lovely - and heart rending poem - Love you in Poetry - JOHN X

A wonderful blend of the personal and the divine makes this fine poem particularly appropriate for this time of giving. Your little boy is indeed blessed to have you in his corner. I hope and pray that he is given the second chance he so obviously deserves. Thanks for sharing this. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
