It really is amazing! God is the creator of both. We only understand intimacy of God through this close bond. It is a curious thing. I was my parents honeymoon baby! Their wedding on the 9th, my birthday, the 7th - 9 months later.

Hey, Tom. To that, joy unspeakable, and to the whole of it, I will embrace the feel of it to memory ... 7x over, then part. I stand now by my elder sister, who was not able to conceive, but when our kid sister died of cancer, she adopted her baby girl, as her other four was already older. This was done without objection from me, her last surviving family member. Aloha, William

An incredible awareness, the lingering glow of the highest of all human pleasures, dear Tom. Beautiful, and it makes one feel quite cozy and at ease. Brilliant thoughts sprinkled with beautiful words.

Glory and also a way and means of securing the future. I love this Tom You are so right Unfortunately I am a d have sadly become over time Such and so cynical of life so please excuse me and take me with a pinch of salt or lemon perhaps But I am always seem to find or maybe I am actually seeking for the downside. Why on earth then some would willingly choose to value it above all Dumbfounds me countless times on a daily basis not value it and cherish

So true Tom A new life born is indeed an open book No human being is born knowing hate or sin Only until we open the door to the possibility of it It's learned because it's taught Why God only knows we do it boggles the mind

Tom Woody

Each new life is an open book. Endless possibilities. Unfortunately, we live in a sinful world and bad things happen, even to good people. There is a new world on the horizon - Revelation 21:4

Wonderfully human, Tom.it’s odd…I find adults fearful of expressing profound joy or deep connections regarding relationships. But maybe I met weird ones. I do know a few, not many who are open to say boo! It’s always been a mystery to me. I don’t relish that ….this act, is only allowed in bawdy or nasty poetry. I don’ get that at all. Pangie xxx

Tom Woody
Date: 11/13/2023 7:45:00 PM

So true Pangie. Human sexuality is a gift from a benevolent Creator, when it's practiced within the boundaries he's established. Conception and birth are miracles not to be taken lightly

The other side of story is not within . . . . I'm reading your thoughts again, and I'm looking at the "Positive" you've penned.

Tom Woody
Date: 11/13/2023 7:44:00 PM

Thank you Brandy. To me it's not really poetry, these one liners. But the notion entered my head and I thought the message somewhat profound.

That is a pleasant thought. I wish that were true in all cases. I like that your poem caused me to contemplate.

Tom Woody

Sexual pleasure is a gift from God. True, some abuse the gift, like they abuse everything else. Still, conception and life are miracles
