Church, Steeple, People

Mourning tools clasped, and woven directing nailed fine pointers marking place tapping tunes now knitting lives and braiding hair Birthing tools glorious signs passing words keeping all time patting cheeks rubbing wet eyes fingers steeple and crown me Contest: The Crown of My Body -- A Whitney Date: 6/18/12

I would have never known about the Lord and His people except thru the love of my grandmother...This poem reminded me of a quaint little rhyme my Bible class teacher taught me when I was 6 yrs old. "This is the church, this is the steeple, open its doors, and see all the people!...Ahhh, your whitney gives me refreshment, Debbie! Enjoyed the other images of comfort and nurturing...This was a first place winner and I just read Nette's comments below...she feels badly I can tell...Your great work didn't go unnoticed. love, gwendolen
