LIFE

excerpt from ANNE'S WRITINGS (See Aug 31, 2010)

A breeze to blow a seed's quest,
A drop of rain to germinate,
A ray of sun to give a life,
Tight bud,
Lovely petals,
Nature's cycle.

A touch to train an errant curl,
A nod to aid a shy, poem teller,
An extra dime in young lunch pail,
Quick hug,
Gentle pat.
Extends birth pangs.

A shrug on hearing a plea for love,
A tear on reaping a loss of trust,
Need from child renews a bond,
Reaching, crying,
Sharing, trying,
Webs of love.

Other faces full of despair,
Other homes with anger and fear,
Hearing, Seeing,
Kneeling, praying,
Hands entwined to serve.
