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.

Free Gift

The voice of her songs
and
the songs of her voice
keep singing on
throughout the universe
and
in hearts of true knowing
that join in from anywhere
and
nowhere
and everywhere.

Souls in flight
rest softly
on passing clouds,
gently nodding
to earthbound ones,
inviting them to join in
the new/old awakenings,
blending their rainbow hopes
with soft filled prayers.
