Cradled in the hands of God
Each babe aborning lies
Whispering soft and low
Soothing pre-birth cries

Love all, young one, God imparts
Be free in all you do
Love thy father and mother
For they will love you too

Be gentle in your dealings
With those who have less
And I will surely see that
Your life, I will bless

Give your heart freely
Give your hand to any man
And you will be, my child,
As close to me as you can

Sharon; This is a tender sweet poem, yet richly filled with faith and wisdom. Love, Ellie

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Such a sense of fulfilling peace I get when I read this. Ever so gentle portraying the love of God.

Hi Sharon, Without His cradling arms, I do not know where I would turn sometimes.  He is ever so faithful to hold us. Wonderful poem and beautifully written.

Thank you all..this one was written for the Challenge from Hoot a few months ago..there was a photo of a tiny newborn held in a man's hands and this is what I thought it represented. A little nurturing from God before we're born.

This is a wisdom piece- inspired by the picture of a newborn-craddled in someone's hands--this well goes with that picture. The challenge though long delayed, was well met.
