This Christmas I celebrate
Not freedom from pain
As I did last year
Nor my desire to survive
And not the strength I found
To carry on

This Christmas I celebrate
The trueness of love
Hope and faith

For all have been taught me
This last year
By different touches
Of so many

But it was a higher power
That gave me faith back
When he made the improbable
The reality I didn’t know I wanted

This Christmas I celebrate
What real love means
I accept it with profound
Thankfulness


MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!

then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you"

The most beautiful gifts do not come tucked away in ribbons and bows, but from within our hearts. You've captured this in a lovely way Susan. Merry Christmas to you!

Best wishes,
