Growth

Wet, cool, soothing to my soul, Earth between my toes, Mud pies on fall Saturdays, Brisk fresh air, ah contentment. Molding clay between my fingers, Creating works of art From my inner depths, Human spirit, gift from God. Who are we to question why? God is molding clay To be fired with the trials of a lifetime, Contentment and acceptance are most desired.

Yes, I agree, God is molding us with our life events. I love the images you portray of mud between the toes--been there, done that. We are so blessed to have God's love in our hearts. Is there any reason we should withhold this love from others in our daily walk?

I liked the Tonka,Acrostich...and others poems signed Doris,the first and especially Growth. Impressed of your imagery.Congrat. and thanks - you visited one of my "I don`t know..." an attempt to speak about spiritual growing and sick people who forgot Him or are forgotten by Him.Never mind if imagined at 1st person or at the 3rd person experience...I tried to imagine a special kind of solitude.Actually sharing is to construe "common recollections".Best regards,Ovi.
