I met a mentally challenged girl In church yesterday At first I felt pity I heard her softly singing jingle bells There it was all so silent Her father asked her to be quiet I told him “ Please let her sing” For her song made my heart flutter She must be eighteen or bigger Seemed to me a cute child I spoke to her at once and happily she smiled It made me glad, her innocence ,her love shown She spread so much joy Like the wind comes and branches nod She touched my heart’s chord In the faded heritage structure Of an old church,hundred years and more Where people gather like strangers Not talk to one another She was the link A happy smile for anyone Who cared to talk to her I saw her father smile To see her happy 'She likes to sing and dance whole day',he said Now I know how she makes him proud How she challenged life With her carefree smile

To sing Jingle Bells in church among all the commotion is the perfect response. This girl is a genius! Let us rejoice!

It's easy to cast off the mentally impaired. It's much harder for the parents who birthed them. I guess that innocence protects them from the cruel world around them. Unfortunately, it can cause them great trouble, as well. I see that Jerry picked up on what goes on in church these days. Your poem shows you care.

"Of an old church,hundred years and more
Where people gather like strangers
Not talk to one another"

I absolutely understand this. As the saying goes, been there, done that. There is so much standoffish attitude in most of the church services. Most of the people who are in these churches are their to 'do their duty', and to put up a good front.

This is beautiful;the moment, the purity, your appreciation and recognition of this little angel and the eloquence with which you shared your gentle feelings.

Wishing you an abundance of creativity!

With respect and smiles,
