About the children

Children keep us focussed on what matters. I had a wonderful time with a blessing of a child care facility the other day. Here is a poem I wrote;


What is a child that your are mindful of her
and infant that you care?
Formed in their mother's womb under your watchful eye
Set apart as unique, never to be repeated
So fragile, yet so strong
Destined to love and be loved
Created with tears to wash away pain and
laughter to embrace all that is joyous and good
Ahhh... there is our answer
In a glimpse of innocence,
of unrestrained joy,
is a reflection of the divine.
