Mother and Child

I have heard 
From the very wise,
That In the smile of a child,
You can see the vision of divinity.
In the innocence of those eyes,
Are the essence of serenity.
In their loving cuddles,
You feel God’s embrace....
So I ask
Should I pray to my Lord
Or play with my child?

And they say-
The sound of Child’s laughter
Can bring joys of the morning birds!
Their toddling little feet  echo the rhythm of the herds!
So I ask 
Should I seek God in his creation
Or in the joys of my child?

Later in bed, at slumber’s door
I wrestled with doubts, no more!
the soft gentle breathing next to me,
Had calmness and peace 
Of the deep blue sea.
A quiet prayer, I whispered, to the Lord,
And  slept,
My child  in my arms,
feeling God close to me.

Beautiful poem ... I can relate to this as a mother. Every day I would put my hands over my son and put him to sleep. One day when he was very small he put his hands over me and those soft featherlite hands touching me made me experience divine bliss ... you are right! a child is God
