LADYBUGS

Listen for the hush where blessings gather.
Lift the quiet with their red and black polka dots. 
Leap over twigs as if they’re mountains.
Leave faint anointings on the leaves they touch.
Loom as small messengers from softer realms.
Lend quiet blessings to wandering breezes.
Lead the day towards gentle good fortune.

You show us, complexity, sensitivity, beauty can be found even in some of the smallest living creatures. They are all God.
