Within You


Within you there be
The light of stars
Wondrous galaxies
The call of the oceans
The cresting waves and tides
The cool ocean breezes
Within you there be
The rippling of brooks and stream
The melody of the songbird
The awakening of Spring
The warmth of the brilliant sun
The splendor of Summer's bloom
Within you there be.

Rose Marie Raccioppi


Young mother contemplating her sleeping child, Oil on wood, 1875, von Albert Anker, 1831–1910.

Our children and the child within each of us, are to be known for their light, their love and their questing purpose.
We are to unfold, not confine, enhance not demean, embrace, not ignore, the call of each reaching spirit.

This created a chill on the nerves behind by neck and it flowed deep within! Words fail here, dear poet! I don't know what to say, really! There's a drop hiding somewhere at the corner of my eyes. Thanks for touching my heart! Go on!

Tamarind, To be embraced by a mother's love and faith, to see in her eyes the knowing of your greatness, is to be embraced by divine love - this I believe as it is meant to be. Thank you for feeling what I feel.
