Hope
You have become my partner in beauty, experiencing the profound in the mundane.
a precious gift, our secret moments,
when You nudge me
and I turn to find a little bird watching me intently.
I stare back,
and there You are…
The Creator, becoming part of His creation.

When the dress I bought covered with little trees,
my Laura Ingalls dress,
inspires me to pick up my brushes again,
I find You there, waiting…

I watch my girl’s faces in unguarded moments,
pouty little lips, open and full while fast asleep…
and there You are,
smiling down on them, on me…

And Ben…
When I remember the way he loved, lived,
curiously, with pregnant expectation…
I find You there
Your tears mixing with mine
And I look into Your eyes and see my pain reflected there…
But I also see Hope..
