from hands 2 my heart

In Love, not apart
faith, hope can restart
--in prayer.
Sensing Jesus' Heart...
Presence off the chart
(He's there!)
My poetry art
is barely a start
to share...

How I am aware
of His loving care
--the best.
The King's throne I bear
hands cupped in prayer
--attest
Eucharist affair
Keeps me from despair
--in rest.

At night, my hands rest
crossed over my chest
--my heart.
Blue scapular pressed
of Mary, most blessed
--impart...
my fondest request:
to let not my Guest
depart.
