Contemplative. Prayerful. It made me think of Jesus' words saying that we are to be like children in our faith, not in the sense that the poem is childlike--indeed, it's quite dignified and eloquent--but that the basic premise is. It's so simple and honest--pure. I love it, both the writing and the message.

It's beautiful! =D<br /><br />I usually pray with my eyes closed, but when the light is particularly beautiful, I will pray near my window and look out at the sky. Occasionally, some birds fly past and I feel uplifted. Your poem reminds me of those moments.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
