Peaceful

 

She is my third grandchild. Little Margot. Born  on November 2nd last year. She hardly ever cries and seems supremely contented. She continues to feed on her mother's milk which must be remarkably nutritious.

Of course I have held her in my arms many times. She is now quite a weight! I look into her sparkly sapphire blue eyes and sometimes sing to her. As well as loving her, I also get the feeling that she is very peaceful. It is the word that comes to my mind each time I see her. I suppose this might change as time carries us forward but at the moment she radiates peacefulness.

I never applied that term to Phoebe, nor to my own two children when they were babies but with Little Margot there is a calm contentment about her, an acceptance of  what life is.

Below, I wonder who placed her in the laundry basket?  And if you think it was me then you're wrong.

Amen

 The shadows illuminate

The light

The vision

That is

The image

Of the deity

In me

Imploring my soul

To let in

The aroma

Of strength

And purity

In refinement

I’m where

I need to be

Disability

The vehicle

He has chosen

To make 

His omnipotence

Known to billions

In using this human

Who finds her being

Lackluster

Yet God

Says otherwise

Worthy 

Cherished

Loved

What a privilege

An honor

That exceeds

A lifetime

Hits

 Stripping

Off the scraps

Of sugar

Being truthful

Is the only 

Way to authenticity

And honesty

With the deity

How many lies

Have I told you

We have this 

Conversation

Too often

It seems

Getting real

Is costing me

Sleep and sanity

Forty

The year

Life decided

To teach me

When to take

The hits

And when

To give them back
