I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb...

may day

no sound of rain
only cheering and
chanting
all around
the great spire
illuminated
light pink
the color
of petals
crushed
in the
dust

"Lo, children are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward."
Psalm 127:3

Lord of all creation,
please give us
grateful
hearts.

Susan, your Life Poems is so refreshing. I love their positive pro-Christian and pro-life message, so much needed in our morally challenged society.
