Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

And So Comes This Love

I was counting days 'till he would be mine,
      I was ticking off nine.
        One morning I felt not a thing,
so my husband gave the doctor a ring.
            And so comes this love . . .
        My baby had flown up above,
he had left in the night for the divine;
        and in my heart he will ever twine,
to my sweet boy I just wanted to cling;
      and a lullaby sing.
            And so comes this love . . . 
       Then, I had to let go of my dove-
Often, I walk among the yellow pine,
    to where he rests in the sun . . . shine.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian April 20, 2018 at 10:26 PM 'among the yellow pine...he rests in the sun' . He rest, he sleeps. You know where he rests, so does God. Job chapter 14 is comforting. He said "God will have a longing for the works of his own hand" . Isn't that a beautiful way to express our resurrection hope? later Job said about himself sleeping in death. That God will call and he (Job) will answer. Hope you have Job's assurance. Congrats dear friend.
