Saturday I Sang
Saturday, I sang to a Baby. I sang notes. She sang back to me, Then fell asleep. Each note keeps its Own indelible length And gentleness is Our greatest strength.
This is very beautiful and touching. Thank you so much for sharing this, and thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog post today! You made my day! :)
This touched me so, George. As my granddaughter at age four said to me when she cried during a tender moment, "all of a sudden, water just came out of my eyes".
Yes, yes, yes, so very true. Simply beautiful ...
ReplyDeleteThank you! The surprising strength of an infant's grip is a song in itself.
DeleteThis has to be one of my very favorite poems you have written.
ReplyDeleteI truly love it

ReplyDeleteArleen, there are irreducible moments that are best expressed with a child's simplicity. Thanks for this moving example.
DeleteOh, to hold a baby again. I think holding a baby can bring peace at any time.
ReplyDeleteBabies are a new issue of the universe, sent to comfort us and make use of us.
