I want to extend a warm welcome to this poem home.
Enjoy your visit and I hope this will be a source of inspiration and encouragement.
Some of my roles include that of mother, grandmother and kindergarten educator (ret.).
Having composed songs for young children throughout my 27 years in the classroom,
I moved more into poetry following that period.
Please feel welcome to share these offerings with others as well.

Caregifting

A gift from the heart of true knowing
carries with it
an eternal light,
one that glows beyond the storms,
shines through the clouds
and on forevermore.

The sounds of birds unheard
and songs unsung
give notes to meanings,
forms to life
and treasures beyond all measures.

Hold the spirit softly and surely,
then let it go soaring high
and free and mightily
where it will.
