The Poet's Touch |
Listen to the soft breath of a child whose warm head rests upon your chest. Listen to your own words of affection. "You are special." "You are not alone." "Cherish the desire to become the person you are meant to be." "I will love you forever." Listen to earth sounds ... wind sounds ... rain sounds ... whispers ... bell sounds ... prayer sounds ... lullabies ... birdsong ... laughter ... melodies ... a baby's heartbeat.... Listen to the sounds of God's creatures in His universe. Listen, breath deeply, dream sweet dreams and listen again. "You are loved." |
