Ujamaa Christian Poetry
A Special Gift
You were given a special gift today,
so special and so pure.
It took your heart to long ago,
and proved you did endure.
Endure because they loved you
and raised a special son,
a person who was taught
about the moon, God, and the glowing sun.
You took them with you
to the trenches of your horror
and you survived because He willed it
for then, for now and the morrow.
Your heart is full of them tonight
and I know you've shed a tear
to see them once again
the ones that were so dear.
But dry your eyes, my soldier
'cause your have fought the freedom fight.
You battled with your Armor courage
with honesty and might.
The glowing sun they showed you
has stayed up overhead
to follow you through life
because this is what they said,
"We love you precious child,
go forth so we may leave.
Spread God's word generously
so others may receive.
As we watch from Heaven
no prouder could we be,
because you honor us from sea to shining sea.
When God sat beside us
just the other day.
He thanked us sincerely
because you guide who you touch
to have faith and to pray.
