~ Because of My Mommy and Daddy's Love ~
~ Amid the many simple devotions-
and sweeter feelings of tenderness ...
and my Mommy-and-Daddy's certain-
notions of freedom they carry for me-
and visions of peace. ~
~ Of these many things I have known; upon-
the cosy softness of my bedding amid-the
quiet of the darkness and soaring-now-aloof-
the wonders of the Fathers grace. ~
~ Within the open freedom of the evening-
sky's-beneath the starry night; my heart
has been met with this simple thought to-
welcome me ... and amid this one emotion-
while my soul in motion begins to rise ... as I-
dream. ~
~ I lay here e'er-still; amid the shimmer of this-starry-
scene as-one-open-heart resting gently in place;
and all the while ... I know my Mommy-and-Daddy,
are standing by; and so I thank-God for them-today;
because-I know; I know my Mommy-and-Daddy they love-
me ... and so; because of this-again-I-know; I am-not; ~
~ (alone)!... ~
