I wrote this poem last year after spending Christmas eve with my nephew, Jeff. Last year at this time, he was not expected to live another year, or even a few months. Now, after two operations, and being near death many times...he is doing much better. The passionate poet prayer team helped with this healing, I think. Peace and love to all this holiday season..and every day of the year. Encased in Living’s Smile The sun drown in the Pacific and the sky had caught on fire the island rose like a gray whale against the melting funeral pyre Warm by the light lit Christmas tree a family circled round the hearth and thanked a giving beauty blessed family dinner to take part Their child was filled with imp for sure and rode stick horse from room to room the tender hearts that gave her birth tried not to think that dad’s life’s doomed For deep inside him is the wrath of cancers spread to every room and where our love lives it fills up and spills out fear of pain and gloom Yet we hug our love to tell him we treasure each and every mile that takes him to another day with love encased in living’s smile. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Martie, this poem made me cry, it's so sad but yet so beautiful to feel the new hope and smile on Jeff's face through prayer and healing! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is such a touching and compassionate poem, and I believe deep down He is always there to answer our prayers for loves sake! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, may you have the happiest holidays! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Martie....I am a firm believer in the power of prayer and miracles, having been near death myself. This must have been a most difficult write for you a year ago...but, look at him now! Thank God...thank the prayer circle! Thank you for writing this reminder. Have a most joyous and blessed Christmas, my friend... Love, Light and Peace, Nancy. *~ Wishing you all a magical Christmas ~* |
