I asked for the Christ to be born in me
as my gift for Christmas Day
and what got was a nasty flu
sometimes life throws you these curves
and they can bring out another side of you


and I talked to Mother Mary
and asked her if she gets sick too
and she laughed til I laughed
and I started coughing til I was blue


she said these earthly bodies
can be a burden sometimes that's true
but they are what we have to deal with
while living in material plane
what you deal with can bring you pain
but it’s really only a short time we are here
and there so much more love waiting to appear


so she sent a blessing down
and sent some stars to lead me on
and I realized that when Christ
appeared on earth
all the challenges he faced
after his blessed birth


in living with Christ light
we use his love to try to get our life right
and when we slip and fall
we can turn to Christ and Mother Mary
to talk us through it all


so we can learn and get stronger as we go
and perhaps a little kinder
to others who may slip and fall
and picked a Jesus card that said
I am with you always , even unto the end time
so although I feel awful in this body
I am grateful for this life
And all those guardian angels
Who watch over us even on the darkest night
