 I see this as God's hands cradling a child before he or she is born 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 |

Divinely inspired verse Lady deVine, which is befitting your talent with words. Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Very well done, and you know when I looked at the picture the first thing that came to my mind was the hands of God holding this child. You've written my thoughts as well! Great Devine! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Thank you! I love the idea that God would touch us all before we are born...makes us all equal in his eyes!  |

Both the picture and the poem were exquisite. Mine eyes are misted ... --Kess You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end. |

PDV: I'm running out of expressions with you...but I totally agree, as always.. HUSG Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

A challenge wonderfully met!! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |
