Oh, that your eyesMay see the blue
Of skies
And you may know
The sound of rain
And hear the wind
Against the window-pane
Oh, that your heart
May feel the
Flying souls
Of flowers
Through the air
Blowing across
The hills and plains
Which like a prayer
Sink deep
Into the very soul
Of all things
Oh, Miracle-Child!
May your heart
And mind and soul
Soar upon
Inspiration's wings!
Towards God and Man
And Earth and Sky
Where holy kings
Have made the soul
A harp which sings!
Lovely....may every parent read this poem, Margie...it could turn to be a prayer in them :)

Amazing eyes in the graphic of the newborn face. Your poem is heartfelt and what we all wish for every child born. I so wish each child would be in a family who understands how precious that child is. Your words are from your heart and we are so fortunate you share with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning poem. Are you the author? I am impressed. I found your comment about Laguna Beach, and wanted to thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is also a miracle - miracle of words, sounds, images.
ReplyDeleteMay all of your wishes come true to the miracle child!

ReplyDeleteAmazing Aluminum!
ReplyDeleteO God and Man
And Earth and Sky
And sunny Smiles
And Happy Wiles
O fruity Fruit
And Horns that toot
And Wind that blows
And Silence mute;
O Songs that Sing
And bees that sting
And bells that ring
A sweet “ding-ding”
And cheese that smells
And bells that don’t
Since metal things
They Smell not Won’t!
lovely.... and thanks for your comment.
