your cries break my heart
and I hold you close until
you whimper into sleep
my gentle swaying and rhythm of my heart
guide you to sleep
my daughter, I hope someday you
discover that the Divine Presence
holds you safe and close like I do
There will be times
I will not be with you
But remember that God
is always with you
Reflections on how the Divine Presence is like a loving parent that holds us safe. My wife and I have been giving our daughter extra tender loving care as she gets over her first fever from a little virus.
