Childhood memories

the world a playground parents arms our nest school was fun too barring the weekly test measles and mumps mother tended with care flame of love vibrated heart vibrant and aware our fontanel was open we communed with God but when we shared this we but got a careless nod we knew then we are soul encased in body-mind it took time to realise to truth others were blind counselled by elders light of our soul became dim taught to be street smart God called but we forgot Him looking back we now see it was as meant to be even though we seem bound our soul is always free

Excellent memories that evoked motherly care. Weekly tests? Indeed that's too much. We only had two a year. Missed your quietus.

Apart from childhood norms, you were aware of transcendental thoughts very early.

A very heartfelt poem this is dear seeker, as i read this i felt the love of a mother, always taking care of her children, through sickness and all, and i smiled as i read “ barring the weekly test” haha: i bet we all are familiar with that. Growing up yes light in our soul sometimes dims, but eventually we find it all listening to the heartbeats of heaven. Always a pleasure reading your work: sending you light always
