Taken to my knees, struggles put to rhyme and booked Sometimes sent in messenger, when longer since I looked These times that I still cannot cry are there to rediscover And hold the weeping child a tender blossom to uncover For there upon the pages shall I see most vulnerably Reliving those emotions penned in pain and victory To see with wonder every tiny touch and shuddered cry And take within my arms and rock the innocent of I These parts that no one knows of so fragile and so fair Among the ribbons and the wounds a china white despair For here the child nurtured, and here the woman loved And merged in genuflection lion hearted softly doved Taken to my core, to hold so well this infant self The first of generation, the last of prophet’s shelf This coming of conviction, as time and space confound And swaddle understanding of my world my arms around Copyright Kkh 12/21/02 |

Whether it is read to protect the child inside of us, or the child in our arms, there is such a need to keep the innocent qualities present in our life. There is far too much harshness, and so much to appreciate, if we cultivate innocence. Stunningly beautifully written, Kathleen. My best, always, Jeff |

 (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is so very touching, I believe we should all embrace the world with innocence as unconditional love is what makes the world go round! (sigh) Always listen to the girl in your heart, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

ThisDiamond, I think your best. But, I usually think that with each new one you share with us. I especially like: "...lion-hearted softly doved..." Enjoyed greatly. Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

I feel like this every time I read my diaries from when I was younger; I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing! The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears. |

TD Such tenderness can heal. In just reading it I feel the wrap around of something very good that cannot be blown out.  |
