As I walked up the path to the clearing,
Sunbeams danced through each yellowed tree,
And there ahead sat our Lord,
A toddler on each knee.
Surrounding Him in this meadow,
More children were sitting in awe,
Their eyes were shining brightly,
Reflecting the magic they saw.
A dove perched gently on His hand,
As a bunny sat on His lap,
A little fawn nuzzled closely,
While on His shoulder a squirrel took a nap.
A baby racoon snuck right in,
And nestled down by His side,
As the tiniest little chimpmunk,
Ran up His sleeve to hide.
A frisky bear cub came toward them,
But quickly laid down with a sigh,
The air became scented by roses,
As a rainbow appeared in the sky.
One by one He called them up,
And He blessed each little child,
As He showed them with His gentle love,
He could tame what once was wild.
As He tenderly hugged every one of them,
There was a smile on each precious face,
And as they played with His little creatures,
Their world became filled with His grace.

Oh my dear Bonnie,  What a heavenly scene you have brushed this morning. From the very beginning, I could see Jesus there, just as you described...my-my, this is beautiful!!

Bonnie you truly are remarkable in your writing! You leave such awesome visions in my mind. I can just see this picture! If I could only find one for each poem of yours! LOL

This should be given to each child and framed! Matter of fact if you don't mind, I have someone in mind and would love to print this out and give it.

You have described the world as it was created by God originally without sin where all creatures lived together in perfect harmony. A place of child like innocense. I am also looking forward to that day when Jesus once more walks upon Earth and our lives will return to their original innocent nature.  A wonderful picture of life with Jesus you have once again shared with us at Passions.  Thank you, Bob <><

Oh, Dearest Bonnie, you have once again painted an incredible portrait with your grace filled pen. I felt the peace and wonder as I read each line, and I thank you for giving me that lovely gift. Love, Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Bonnie~
This just screams to be illustrated !
It is so lovely ...
Have you had any of your lovely poetic works illustrated ?
They are so serene, from the beauty of the little angels to this gracing of the page.
My ! My !  What talent.
Praise be His name ...
Glorify His name with these lovely pieces
where they can be shared with others.

Love and blessings~
