Heartbeat of Faith

07 June 2006

Mother and child
together on graduation day
This higher school of education
her Naomi, a heartbeat of faith

Every moment, a child’s breath
from the first gasp of living life
An our awakening, like time in merit
her breasts suckling, clinging to hope

A morning child, afternoon to the wind
embracing an evening to endure
Another, a mother, blood in veins pure
daily to ponder, victory to mature

Mother and child, smiles and eyes meet
all certainty unknown, forever being thus
No one to take, this in gift given
together in ways of faith, come graduation day



“And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom,
and became nurse unto it.”
Ruth 4: 16 KJV

I wonder why you bother

but I'll share this with her anyhow, I'm sure it will touch her as it has me, thank you

somethings are worth bothering about

yet at times things are not planned they just happen
