All shall know beauty

when the light of truth calls to 

BE ~ Birth Eternal

Rose Marie Raccioppi

The first cry of a child

Its tender grasp and soft touch

Its reaching for life's embrace

TRUTH the calling of the soul

Its longing for the Oneness of Being

Its ever present quest of the Divine

TRUTH the will of Creation

Its expression in the soul of humanity

Its line, form, structure of the sublime

TRUTH the revelation of beauty

Its ever present call be it known

By the hand with God's Grace shown.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
