Haiku Series, By Faith

Haiku series, by Faith (Written for Addi Menefee, Gail Menefee) under my blankets knowing of children with cancer prayer songs rise my soul swims through grace see their bodies struggle by faith dance to healing I picture their faces smoothed crowns in clinics Christ calls the eagles, “Fly!” precious their growing blessed freed secured hear playgrounds filled with laughter blessed parents with strength Holy Spirit present starlight shines eternal with blankets pulled back in stilled silence asleepp soul sends glory praise ————————————————————————- (c) sally Young eslinger 1/27/21 Thanks be to God!

Thank you, Robert. I’m still waiting to hear results of Addi’s Tuesday bone marrow. Tugs at the heart. Your stop to read & comment most appreciated.i have set myself to a thorough learning of haiku.

Victor! Thank you! I think we know each other well enough now for me to send U kisses for that response. I prayed for Addi for 11 months. She had her last treatment before final test today.
