Around my neck, a child’s arms
A crackling fire that lights and warms
The fragrant scent of baking bread
The good content of being fed
The cleansing force of pounding surf
The mighty waves that presage birth
Adversity to make us strong
Instill compassion’s tender song
In silent watch with coffee dark
Fade Morning star, rise winging lark
Walking hand in hand with love
While gold-leaf sunsets flame above
Read daily manifests of grace
In loved ones, nature, art and space
Minute miracles, marvels grand
If you'd see God's face
first
See His hand

Amazing
Oh My Dear Poet...
I am rendered speechless by this beautiful creation...
I want to say something to you...I recently lost my grandmother and when I read you notes it grabbed my heart because my gran taught me to see and believe...
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for entering my contest and wish you only the best of luck
Much Love
