A Soft Heart

The morning is mild.
A soft breeze makes,
the trees dance,
and a soft drizzle,
falls on the earth.
I sit behind my desk,
coffee in hand,
but instead of words,
I find contentment.
An ease in my heart,
that is so gentle,
that it takes effort,
for me to reach it.
But it is there,
underneath the surface.
I can reach for it,
and with God’s help,
I can hold it in my hands.
It is a blessing, and a gift,
straight from God’s hand.

Mother Love

Wings spread,

open and wide,

wrap around me,

in an embrace.

Right there,

in your arms,

made of love,

pure and gentle,

safety finds me –

gives me a home.

Here I cry,

tears of joy,

of intens hope,

and undying grief.

A mother’s love,

difficult to catch,

in one simple phrase,

is only understood,

deep in the heart,

of all I can ever feel,

and every emotion,

I ever hope to touch,

in this lifetime!
