Caryl Ramsdale Poet Rhyme

A Peek Inside

I stand in awe; when newborns are
Settled into warm cozy beds
~ Living and breathing in our world ~
Time to time turned, shaping soft heads.

I feel; full to overflowing
With love that bursts forth in my soul
~ For the innocence of new life ~
One great gift God chose to extol.

I wonder; if this small person
Will someday be all they can be
~ Or maybe stray from goodness that ~
Anchors honor and decency.

I understand; motivation
And the freedom to make a choice
~ Hinges on strength of character ~
And how high one lifts one’s small voice.

I believe; The Lord God knew all
Before you filled your lungs with air
~ Like ev’ry amazing new life ~
The Almighty chooses to share.

Judy Ball August 23, 2011 at 1:37 PM I believe that too my friend. He gives us everything we're born with. The color of our eyes, hair, skin, our parents and the country of our birth. What we do with it and what we choose to become because of it is our gift back to Him. God Bless, JB Caryl Ramsdale August 23, 2011 at 8:32 PM You are so right Judy...Think I'll shorten my signature to CR. hahaha There's another Caryl on here so I try to limit everyone's confusion by typing Caryl Ramsdale. It's unusual to run across anyone with that spelling. Only found 2 my whole lifelong. CR
