Here you are
Sick today
Others shopping
Out at play
You feel bad
You are here
And you’re heavy
Full of fear
Let them down
Ruin the mood
Always there
Made the food
Wrapped the presents
Played the games
Sang the songs
Remembered the names
Wrote them down
So they could see
What they got
Under the tree
Now you’re sick
And all those things
Won’t be done
Untied strings
Sit and worry
Makes things worse
Sick is such
A horrid curse.
Christmas Eve
Cuddled up
In your gown
Sips a cup
Yummy tea
Music on
Thinks about
Christmas dawn.
Hears a sound
Looks outside
Sees some lights
Love abide!
Sees the faces
Sees the bows
Happy singing
Family knows
You are sick
Loves you most
Christmas comes
They will host!
Made the food
Gifts are wrapped
Games are set
They adapt!
You can toast
With family cheer
Made it better,
Sick this year.
Best present
Favourite thing
Family love
Is what they bring
She forgot
She was sick
Forgot her pain
And all the ick
Family came
Took it away
Gave her love
Joy, it stays.
Christmas time
Is here so soon
Love reminds us,
Make some room
To cherish those
That aren’t so well
Hold them close
Whisper, tell
We love you
Don’t you fear
We are here
We are near.
Sick will come
And sick will go
We are here
So you know
That family helps
Family reigns
Here when you
Have lots of pains
Love made better
They were here
Thank you all
You’re oh, so dear
Thank you Christmas
Happiness
Thank you Christmas
So full of bliss
Hearts are full
Bellies too
Thank you Jesus
Love you too!
I’m holding my daughter as I write this rhyme. She is sleeping soundly in my arms. She has a fever and is so sick, yet, she still pushes through to enjoy as much of the Christmas joy and happiness as she can!
I feel sad that she is sick at Christmas. It’s so important to be here for her as family to make her feel better as soon as possible. That’s our mission.
The rhyme unraveled as I wrote. I thought of this sad little character who is so sick at Christmas. Her Family loves her and made her forget, isn’t that the best gift when your not well? To simply forget that you are in pain? Forget the Hurting? Embrace joy!
I pray that if you are sick this time of year that friends and family hold you close and let you know how special you are. God bless you all. Merry Christmas!
Our son has been running a fever and ill for the last few days too. Praying for you all! God bless you and Merry Christmas!
