Today’s post is the last the Advent series Let Us Wait As Children Wait. This beautiful poem was written by Heather Jephcott. Heather comes from Australia but now lives in Surabaya Indonesia. She enjoys writing, especially poetry, playing the piano, friends and family, black line drawings, gardening, photography, reading. She also loves interacting with people..health or the lack of it has got in the way at times but she’s getting better after 17 years with CFS. She never wants to be too busy for people.
It’s about giving
precious gifts
of thoughtfulness
gentleness
packaged with laughter
joy accompanying smiles
Delight filled faces
light up
receiving
gifts of love
an air of happiness surrounds
pleased with the giving
A grand party of giving
with everyone included
caring for needs
attentive to likes
unselfish consideration
Surprise adds an extra specialness
child-like wonder comes to visit
discovering again
love, joy, hope and peace
