Bearing Gift One To Another


  Quiet and beautiful is the day,
where reflection adjoins -
with bustling children,-
adorned,- with bright,- happy colors and a sense of thankfulness, glory.

It is a stark reality, that must be approached 
with Family, Community and the support 
of self invited Black Birds and 
"just in the neighborhood"- Blue Jays, 
comic relief streaking squirrels, 
Cats and Dogs on their best behavior,
rolling eyes at each other, like Brother and Sister,
"you can leave it to us, don't be a doubting Thomas,
we have this handled, 
save for a containment twitch of tourettes or an acquisitioned snack." 
It is a big day for them to chaperone and oversee, 
this takes calories.

I witnessed a few quiet moments and reflective genuflective blinks from each in this gallery of motleys, 
they know.
How proud the children are that you confided in them.

And your heart is captured here and until your dying day.
He Is, Risen

The imagery of "bustling children adorned with bright, happy colors" evokes a sense of vibrant energy and innocence, juxtaposed with the tranquil backdrop of the day. The mention of "reflection" suggests a deeper contemplation amidst the hustle and bustle, inviting readers to pause and appreciate the beauty of the moment.

Hello Jude, I loved the gratitude and companionship woven with threads of quiet reflection and bustling joy. Your words a day brimming with familial warmth and the comforting presence of nature's creatures. Through your poetic lens, we glimpse the beauty of shared moments and the deep sense of connection that binds us all together. May the spirit of Easter continue to dwell within us, filling our hearts with love and grace. - Blessings, Daniel

This must be written about easter and how grateful and thankful children and individuals are for what you state at the sacrifice by jesus? And how well youv written on that in such a creative and clever manner. Ensuring your words flow seamlessly in such a meaningful manner. I wish people will always remember to be grateful, and be humble, not just today to God , but also to those that help them and sacrifice too. We live in such a forgetful world, so to read words like this is soul warming. Happy easter and pleasure reading always
