On the 7th day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Seven swans a-swimming
The silent grace singing
Gifts of Spirit be it shown
Seven Words to be known
Prophesy, ministry and teaching
Call they to thee
Exhortation, giving, leading
Compassion ever to be
Each gift of Word and so the Way
Seven gifts of Holy Spirit
This 7th Christmas Day.

Hi RoseMarie-
this is especially lovely, meaningful and with promise. these words ALL so life-giving. The image and your poem blend in a life-force that offers hope. "Thank you"
Happy-healthy New Year to you my beautiful, wise friend.
Love Gail

Otin, Thanks. It has been a venture learning and responding to the deeper meaning of each verse. BIG Hugs your way for 2010.
Brian, Happy for the "new smiles." Learning about the deeper meaning of such a familiar song has been a delight for sure. Much love to you and yours, 2010 - may it be fulfillment, shared love and glory!
Gail, Although I had felt that there was a deeper, symbolic meaning to, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," learning it to be a truism has been most gratifying. As with yourself dear Gail, we often know beyond our knowing. Thank you for the dearest of understanding. `♥´
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are or should be a way of life.....love how you are sharing the twelve days of Christmas with all of us, such a beautiful gift of your gifts....:-) Hugs
Thanks Bernie, It has been a most meaningful venture for me as well. Much (( ♥ )) ... with your style Hugs.
