Willow

Willow

A baby quietly sleeping

Her breath, a lullaby.

She is peace and I surrender

To the peace God gives

From one who cannot speak,

Yet with a look,

She steels my heart.

With her eye's
Her quiet gaze

She sees through my soul.

Through her

God teaches me surrender

He takes me

To a peace I want to know.

I lay her in her bed,

She drifts asleep without a fight.

How many times I have fought

When I didn't need to fight.

She accepts,

She trusts,

Her eyes tell me so.

She teaches me surrender,

How content she is,

To her contentment I want to go.

Little Willow by the lake,

Soft breaths flow through you.

You gentle the earth around you.

Heaven covers you in it's dew.

Picturesque and unchanged

You stand as poetry.

Little Willow by the lake

How easily you surrender

You are full of serenity.

God gives gifts of healing

and peace in packages,

In places

And

In times unexpected.
