This old hand has touched The face of a newborn child The spine of an ancient Bible And the wing of a bird in wild The blood that flows within From heart to hand is free This old hand is proof that There’s still life left in me |

and the blood flows in memory of glorious joy and astounding peace, of course there is life in you and it shows. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Oh my, writers block. A dark time for a poet. This is lovely verse. Seems you are on the road to writing again.  In truth, what defines us is our poetry. |

(sigh) Yes, there is still much life in you for the spirit of the child forever lives in all of us and the magic of love is with you, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I recognize your name.  I will always remember your poetry. This is a pencil-porcelain sketch in values of light and dark---with word... I could smell talcum, and feel the soft, soft press of my grandmother's hand on my cheek--in understanding. Sometimes? Soft is powerful. I hope to learn that from you. |

This old hand has touched The face of a newborn child The spine of an ancient Bible And the wing of a bird in wild ====================================== In one lovely verse you encompassed a life's cycle. Using the words "spine and ancient" in that line was poetic perfection...gave the poem its antique lace quality. Good to see you posting again. If all the tear drops went to heaven |

I like this juxtaposition of the old hand on the newborn’s face. And the truth of the last line…as long as we’re here…we still have something to give…someone to be. You can never win or lose |
