The best gift to give

Thank you for the blessing of our loved ones. May we all give each other what we need; not what we want. 

The best gift to give 
By Michelle Morris

Today I prayed for you 
The best gift to give with love and peace 
The answer was your freedom 
To dream and create your own meaning 

To live your life and follow your heart 
To embrace your journey and its lessons
To discover your purpose and your path 
To forge your own relationship with Heaven 

For I am merely the one who birthed you
Gave you love and nurturing with grace
But you belong to God and His Angels
And one day you'll return to Heaven's embrace 

But no matter how much time we have 
I'll always love you beyond this life
Our souls will always be entwined 
For in my heart and soul, you will reside

Beautiful Christmas Poem, Michelle ~ filled with holy wisdom. Absolutely loved this unselfish line : “For I am merely the one who birthed you”. Sunny skies from South Africa to Britain. Trust you had a peaceful Christmas. Xx

Thank you so much, Ghairo. Much appreciated. I hope you're enjoying Christmas in South Africa. I definitely missed that sunshine this year! It's cold here. Blessings and best wishes :-) xx
