Therefore I dare reveal my private woe,
The secret blots of my imperfect heart,
Nor strive to shrink or swell mine own desert,
Nor beautify nor hide. For this I know,
That even as I am, thou also art.
Thou past heroic forms unmoved shalt go,
To pause and bide with me, to whisper low:
“Not I alone am weak, not I apart
Must suffer, struggle, conquer day by day.
Here is my very cross by strangers borne,
Here is my bosom-sin wherefrom I pray
Hourly deliverance–this my rose, my thorn.
This woman my soul’s need can understand,
Stretching o’er silent gulfs her sister hand.”
(by Emma Lazarus)

If I were only a little puppy, not your baby, mother dear, would
you say “No” to me if I tried to eat from your dish?
Would you drive me off, saying to me, “Get away, you naughty little puppy?”
Then go, mother, go! I will never come to you when you call
me, and never let you feed me any more.
If I were only a little green parrot, and not your baby,
mother dear, would you keep me chained lest I should fly away?
Would you shake your finger at me and say, “What an ungrateful
wretch of a bird! It is gnawing at its chain day and night?”
The go, mother, go! I will run away into the woods; I will
never let you take me in your arms again.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year
I am spending my Christmas in Heaven that is crystal clear
I know your heart is broken because I seem so far away
I want you to know; I am in your loving heart to stay
My Soul and Spirit lives within your heart
and I am promising you, we will never part
I will continue to whisper to you like a gentle prayer
trying to assure you, I am in God’s Eternal Loving care
Mail out your Christmas cards and hang up our stocking too
because I am filling your stocking this year just for you
I am stuffing your stockings with Peace, Joy, Happiness, and Love
from all the Angels, Saints, and our Father from Heaven above
I am enjoying the Peace, Joy, Happiness and Love in Heaven
because Jesus died on the Cross with His last words of Seven
Remember the Kingdom of God is there for us all to share
as long as we remain in His Grace until our last prayer
My wish for you this Christmas is that you shall hear
my Joys of Peace and Happiness in Heaven is quite sincere
I am sending you His Gift of Love for you my dear
Have a Merrier Christmas and a Happier New Year
